Hi All,<br />Just a simple question. Just took the boat out the other day after sitting fir the winter. The motor was fogged in the fall. The motor stalled after about 15-minutes of idle spped. When it started again, a good "puff" of smoke came out. Question: Is this normal? Someone told me you just need to burm all the crap out and everything should be fine. I pulled the plugs today and they were heavy with oil. I changed them today. Does this sound normal? I still havn't been able to run the engine hard yet. River is FLOODED! (((Grin))) Thanks in advance for any input.<br /><br />Smitty

Yes, this is normal ,and downright emarassing in the middle of a tournament.

<br />It just got a good dose of fogger. It can take a while (15 to 20 minutes or so) for<br />it to clear-up.<br /><br /><br />------------------<br />I'm no expert, but I DID sleep at a Holiday Inn last night!
