[QUOTE="fishjunky, post: 425503, member: 13102"] I wound up running a 2:1 gas to seafoam mix through it for appx an hour on the muffs. Then ran the carb dry and put in new spark plugs. The old ones looked disgusting like ones from a two stroke. They did not look like this prior to seafoam (a little carbon tinged but not covered in ooze like after treatment). Took it to the lake next day and was a little sputtery at first but once I got on plane and ran around a little, it ran perfectly the rest of the day. It also ran about 1.5-2 mph faster at top end than usual. Not sure if seafoam is the silver bullet or not, but I'm happy the motor is running strong again. And yes I ran the carb dry before loading the boat :) [/QUOTE]
