just a quick one, go fishing with a mate and he has problem with the donk , can anyone save us a few dollars before taking it to the shop??? Got a 30hp on the tinney runs fine at idle to troll speed, runs fine at half throttle but when we open it up the motor seems to become warmer ( not hot)and it starts to smoke alot , the teenage son is sure fuel/oil mix is fine but ??? Don't want to break it , any thoughts would be much appreciated ?

firstly what make is it. 2 stroke/4stroke, oil injected? fuel injected?
how old is it?
as for the heating up part, what makes you think this. has it had a new impellor recently, has the thermostat been checked?
