i have a 1998 25hp. johnson electric start,tiller. starts easy..idle a few seconds...kicks,puff of smoke, then dies. once in start at idle (before it kicks)shift into gear..go to higher higher rpm..runs fine...back to the load trailer..at idle warmed up...kicks then dies..takes a couple attempts...
