8 hp no telltale stream

[adrhld]

Just picked up a 2009 25 hp 2 stroke and have owned an 8 hp for a while now.

- from what I have gathered, Stabil Marine is the way to go as far as fuel stabilizers, one question answered
- my 8 hp has no telltale stream. I have recieved mixed answers locally as to whether this is normal. Should there be a tell tale stream to indicate proper impeller function?
- is it best to pull the fuel line and run the motor until it quits after each use?

Thanks!

poke a wire coat hanger and/or disassemble the hoses. I'll bet there is a "dirt dauber" in the hose. Yes you need the pee hole working.

I used to run my boats out of gas each time but now I use the Yam 10 micron filters and fuel preservatives and only run them out of gas when storing.

Seems to work OK.
