Hi guys, I just bought a 86 JS550. I took it out, ran great for a little while until I shut it off. At that point it would'nt start and I got stranded. I got back home pulled the plugs they were were water fouled. I turned the motor over a few times and a heavy mist of water was shooting out. Any ideas? Thanks

yeah, ive taken it out twice since then. I have not had the same problem yet, but it turns over for 10 seconds before it starts. I don't think its flooding with fuel though because it does'nt help when you hold the throttle wide open. I'm baffled
