last week took boat out running good hit a net wrapped up prop after that motors not running right. i have to play with it to get it started then once it runs for a few mins it cuts off an then won't start back. have to let it cool down an mess with the throttle before it will start not sure what to look for pulled plugs they look oily, pee hole has water coming out but seems like alot of smoke coming out. when trying to get it started it would back fire alot
