I have the same motor, a 1989 Johnson 200 looper. It has the "extra long shaft". I have a single feed muff, weak well water pressure, and run 100 ft of garden hose to get to the boat. It has no problem cooling. The heads are just warm to the touch when running on the flush attachment. It takes a while for the water to start flowing out, but when it does, there’s a thumb sized stream of water pouring out of the telltale. There’s some funky water control valve that you may need to check out. Don once gave me a pretty good explanation of the cooling system on these motors. Maybe he’ll see this and explain it…..
