Hi All,<br />My 78 Merc 700 outboard won't idle after warming it up - well it will idle but it wants to keep killing when I put it in gear. <br />Also, coming across the lake this weekend at full bore the engine started dying. I could barely keep it running to get back to the dock. Had to feather it all the way. I noticed quite a bit of a white smoke coming from under the cowling towards the front of the motor.<br />Looking for any ideas as to what may be wrong.<br />Thanks!
