    outboard was very hard to start after sitting a while then smoked a lot

    I have a model year 2000 200 EFI Merc. It sat for a month or so. I took it out to the lake to test a new kicker I had installed. When I went to start the 200 it ran very slowly and would not allow any additional throttle or it would quit. After a few of these starts and stops it began to...

    I have a 15 hp 4 stroke (Year 2000) that sometimes takes as long as 15 minutes to warm up so it will idle. Is there a thermostat on these things? What might be wrong? Thanks Bruce

    2000 200 efi smoking bad and running rough

    I have a 2000 200 EFI that starts great but runs rough through all rpm ranges and smokes something fierce at all rpm ranges. Plugs have less than 200(a guess) hours on them and look o.k. After running the engine the plugs are not fouled but are a bit oily. Smoke does not go away after...

After running it for 2 hours trolling the engine oil developes a butterscotchy yellow color. I don't use it a lot or I would have...
