Probably a bad water pump impeller in the drive....

You can check by starting her up on the muffs and pulling the incoming water hose to see what's coming through. Even at idle it should gush water. If not, then you've got a bad impeller or something else happening between the engine's water inlet and the drive.

Hope this helps.

Did you check the 3/4" id hose that is behind the bellhousing? Those are known to collapse
