I just picked up a 1978 2hp Johnson outboard. It runs great, however, I can't find where the water stream pisses out on this motor. Is this an air cooled engine? If not where does the water come out? thanks

Should be 4 or 6 holes above waterline below powerhead. water will just mist out of 'em. If you idle slow in a barrel, you should be able to touch the cylinder head for a couple seconds if it's cooling properly.

Apart from the mist from the holes in the leg the bulk of the water leaves at the bottom with the exhaust under water
