More than likely it just smokes upon initial operation & then the smoke
clears up?

I have a 1997 johnson venom 200 h.p outboard, does anyone know what the
spark plugs should be set at? and can different types of oil cause the
motor to smoke more? and could I have a failing VRO pump that is causing
my motor to smoke.
