I have an Elgin 7.5hp 61600710-2740 and could use some info on it. I've had it for about 7 years and it ran good when I first got it, but I don't remember any info on it anymore. I started it up yesterday with premium fuel & marine 2 stroke oil, 50:1 mix. It dies shortly after starting. Then it ran for about 3 minutes & died. It was really hot, too hot to touch & smoked. It still turns, but I haven't tried to start it since. Wondering if might be low on oil or water pump problem or fuel mix ratio. How to to check oil level &/or refill, checking if water pump is working correctly. Also what year is it.
