The water supply for the cooling jacket? The condenser needs to be filled up from bottom to top. Meaning, put the tube from your pump onto the lowest barb on the jacket, and run another tube from the top barb, back into the pump reservoir This ensures that the jacket is all the way filled, and not just a trickle of water running down it. Also, it helps to have the pump and reservoir above the condenser to get optimal flow. Can you be more specific with you question please.
