You don't have a telltale. There are two 1/2" round exhaust relief ports, on the rear of the motor below the powerhead. Those should spout spray when the motor is warmed up & under load. When cold you may get a bit of mist, or no noticeable water at all. <br /><br />You do, on the other hand, have a 'hot horn' in your control box or dashboard. You should check this to make sure it's working, if you haven't.<br /><br />The outside of the cylinders should be around 105-140 degrees F on that motor, depending on what thermostat you have in it, when warmed up.
