    Very little Water from Tale outlet

    2002 300x , seem to have all kinds of water pressure according to guage but really nothing coming out of the tell tale . Motor running normal temperatures at WOT and idle.

    Checked tube for obstructions, put hose on flusher outlet and water pours out of tell tale .

    Any ideas.

    Re: Very little Water from Tale outlet (onttr22)

    What are your actual water pressures at:

    -IDLE SPEED
    -WOT Throttle

    Have you tried disconnecting the hose from the telltale fitting- and watching flow FROM THE HOSE (may be a pebble bouncing around just inside the nipple for the fitting)?

    Well there must of been something in there because I flushed it last night again with the tell tale nipple off and it sure does spray now.

    Water pressure was fine, 2 to 3 psi at idle and 20 plus at WOT
