This pipe come out under the...

    Help - white smoke

    So I checked the fuel enrichment valve and was in specs, but had a loose wire/bad connection so wasn't engaging choke from the helm when I pressed the key in. Fixed that, boat start right up from the helm and smoke is gone. Not sure if related, but think since choke wasnt working I was flooding...
