@MrPlayer696917 its a 2 stroke. they all smoke, especially if it has been fogged and started for the first time. dont worry about it. Just make sure you get the shop manual on ebay for like $20, its well worth it.

Love to see another video after you put the new prop on. Those old Johnsons are classics. Please take care of it.
SOunds like you got a prop cavitation issue...not grabbing the water or a hub slip...but nice to see an oldie like that still around.
