    1992 Evinrude 150hp EXEN will not run correctly

    shot in the dark . from memory these motors when the oil pump fails they give a full dose of oil to the motor rather tan 0 oil . you will not get an oil alarm .. flooding the motor with oil will cause it to bog down and smoke as you describe. if this is the cause , you may want to replace the...

    Ford 302 pinging
