    2000 200EFI quite last night

    OT153924:

    i went out last night and motor refused to start. I get it back on trailer thanks to my trolling motor and I hook up the hose today: it started real hard wouldn't stay running (I know there is an issue buecause it didn't start last night at all. I look back at the water coming out of the prop and see a shit load of grease/oil inside--- WHAT CAUSED THIS?! Bad plugs? They weren't THAT bad when I checked them today... where do I start?

    It started ok, a little rough but took me 5 miles without a problem to where I shut it down and drifted. No restart after that. I did try a bunch of times to start it because I was drifting towards NIAGARA FALLS... it started today and was real rough, no idle, and smoked like I've never seen before... did someone put something in my tank or what?!
