Can anyone help? I have a 2001 johnson 150hp today when iI started it, it ran for a cpl mins and just shut off. during this time it smoked pretty bad, as I was trying and trying to restart it I noticed black sludge coming from exaust after reading a bit on here seems thats normal when gas/oil is not burned off????? also the power pack was replaced 3 months ago. to me it dosnt seem to be getting any gas. I tried spraying starting fluid in it but no luck.it some times will fire up for a sec or 2, also the primer bulb isnt staying hard but not sure if it should if the boats not running??? Can anyone help????? PLEASE!!!!

Check the compression first. Then do an open air gap spark test on it. Should jump a 7/16 " gap. If those pass, then look at your fuel system.
