I'm a beginner so please bear with me.
Had this 40hp Johnson outboard out on the water about 4 or 5 times this year w/o any problems. Last Saturday I noticed a strong "exhaust"odor after running it for about an hr.or so, shut it off for a while and restart it, ran for about 5 minutes then it died,cranks but won't start.I took out the spark plugs and these were wet, I checked empeller and it looks good.I believe I may have had the wrong mixture (too much oil?)will getting new plugs and fresh mix fix the problem? I'm not really sure how to proceed.Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.Thank you
