I have been using an old johnson 9.9. It runs great for a half hour, then cuts. I can get it running, then it cuts again after two minutes. When it cuts, it smokes in the compartment.<br /><br />My mechanic expert friend told me to see if the plugs were fouled. They looked clean, but I haven't had a chance to try new ones. (This just started happening today)<br /><br />I also have a question about cooling that may relate. Should the water stream be coming out of the pee hole all of the time? Seems to me that I should be VERY concerned as soon as I lose the stream. When this engine does it's cutting out thing, I get no cooling stream on the re-start. Could cooling problems cause the engine to cut out on me?
