[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 162798, member: 437"] Running for 90 seconds didn't get your motor hot enough to shut down from overheating because of a failed water pump, most likely. Overheating will make steam come out your exhaust, not smoke. You may have a head gasket issue or you may have just had some gunk in your carb that gummed up the system for a bit. Get a set of muffs that hook to your water hose and go over the water intakes on the lower unit and see if it pumps water. They sell them at Wal Mart here. [/QUOTE]
