Can anyone tell me if there is a telltale water jet on this outboard? It hasn't been run in a few years but started right up. It does not appear to have the telltale water jet that my sons 90 hp Johnson has. Is this correct? It seems to get pretty hot in just a few minutes of running. Is this normal for this size engine? I've never had an engine this small before and my manual hasn't arrived yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
