I am new here so I hope I am posting in the correct area

I have a 1991 Evinrude outboard. I had an issue with the fuel pump leaking but I bought and replaced that. The engine will start and run but while running it coughs then a puff of smoke from the exhaust comes out. I thought it might be bad plugs or fouled plugs so I replaced them. They were solid black after replacing them the engine does the same thing and if I recheck the plugs they are fouled again. I appreciate the help in advance

Welcome to iboats!:)

Does the motor puff smoke just at idle, or when you increase the throttle? Is it black smoke, or white smoke?

If it does this as you increase the throttle, and the smoke puff is black, I would pull the flywheel and check the flywheel key.
