I got my little 3 hp Johnson running today! It ran a little smoky, but I *think* I mixed the fuel/oil a little too rich.

No signs of overheating, but I am going to replace the impeller anyway.

Thanks to all who offered advice and assistance! And a big thumbs up to Tom at http://www.outboard-boat-motor-repair.com/Default.htm

What an invaluable resource.
