Does the 1982 Johnson 9.9 have a thermostat? Just bought the engine. There is a pee / telltale hole under the cowling, but it never pees. I can see a tube going to it from the engine block. There is water coming out of the exhaust thing on the mid/lower unit, but none from the pee hole.

Yes it has a thermostat part #19 in the diagram HERE

The tell-tale may well be just blocked. Check the outlet nipple, the hose and the elbow were it connects to the engine. Take care not to break plastic parts!
