Re: problem with temperature
Marko, I'm not understanding part of your question. However, I can tell you about the proper cylinder temperature. The cylinder itself should be about 60 degrees C (140 degrees Farenheit), hot enough so that you can leave your hand on it for about 5 seconds. I am not sure about the temperature of the cylinder head - the part right by the spark plug hole is probably a good bit hotter (no water jacket there). <br /><br />Where are the two small holes you are talking about. If they are at the back/top of the housing connecting the motor to the propeller gearbox, then they are exhaust relief ports. If so, it's normal for water to come out of them. The temp of this water varies, but normally not much hotter than 60 degrees C.<br /><br />I am not sure whether a 1980 Johnson 35hp has a telltale 'peephole' - anybody else want to jump in here?<br /><br />Have fun..
