I got a 84 25hp Evinrude that sneezes at idle. It use to do it every once and awhile just at idle. Its gotten worse to the point it wont hardly idle. I have cleaned the carb 3 times. First time was soaked in carb cleaner with the plugs out and I ran tip cleaners thru every passage and sprayed carb cleaner and air thru them. 2nd and 3rd was with carb cleaner and air. New kit with float. Its running lean. The top plug is wet and bottom one is dry. Is the bottom crank seal leaking air? Thats the only thing I can think of causing this. I have replaced every rubber line on it. Tried different spark plugs. changed the coils from top to bottom and still wet plug on top and dry on bottom. If you put your hand over half of the intake on the carb it runs better but not great. Anyone got any ideas? I think its the bottom seal leaking air.
