[QUOTE="Tin Yachtsman, post: 162782, member: 3536"] Okay, try to ignore the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing. My two-stroke, 15 HP, 1991 Mercury outboard isn't jetting water out of the outlet under the top cowl. It ran for about 90 seconds this afternoon, then stalled, smoked, and smelled burnt. An old-timer at the dock suggested the problem is a water pump issue causing overheating. When I got home, I removed the prop, hooked up the flush attachment because I thought that would put water in the system, and tried to start the motor. After several pulls, it did run, but I turned it back off when I didn't see any water coming out of the outlet under the cowl. I'm looking for suggestions on what could have caused the stall/smoke and how to troubleshoot it without launching it again. I hope that clears things up a little. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
