200 Mariner

[jobu]

Okay...here's the status.
New stats...same thing...low to no pressure out of top tell tale at idle.
New poppet valve....same thing(there was some seaweed...also I put the round plastic disc that goes between the valve and screw convex side pointing in?).
Drop the LU redo the impeller, gaskets, housing exactly...put key back in...line up LU and reinstall with minimum difficulty...Now I get NO water out of all three...I assume that I didn't line up the water pipe correctly...I try it again and get no water still. Is there a trick to lining up the guide for the copper pipe? Does the pipe attach first to the upper part or to the pump housing first...also if anyone can explain the order this would be great. Also I cant see it but it looked like I got it lined up right so maybe something completely different. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Joe
