DO NOT run the motor while on the garden hose fitting. Just let the water pressure do its job for 5-10 minutes. There should be water coming from the indicator when flushing using the muffs. Also the indicator should be relatively strong (at least as strong as any other outboard) while running. On more than one occassion I've found an obstruction in the pee hole. Most of the time it is an insect related deal. Wasps, caterpillar, etc. I've always been able to clear it with a piece of wire or similar thin tool. For some reason we've had more of that sort of thing on this Yamaha than previous motors. Maybe there is a larger tube or the bugs just find the ambience more attractive. If that doesn't clear it have your dealer check it this off season. In the meantime you have a overheat alarm, but I don't that there is any problem more than an indicator issue. Good luck.
