"Hi I'm new to this boating lark but was wondering if anyone could help. I'm trying to get the family into a boat and our maiden voyage was a bit of a disaster.

Just picked up a Johnson 4 model no 4BR7E, ran it in a water butt and seemed ok but plenty of smoke coming from no particular part of the engine. Took it out and it died after 5 mins. Measured the 50:1 recommended oil/petrol and replaced fuel. Got it running, again with some smoke but running more evenly. I'm worried about the water pump, should I see an outlet spurting water....at the moment I can't. I'm trying to be careful not to ruin the cylinders. I would be very greatful for some advice.

Many thanks

Andrew"
