Re: Force spark plug fouling
Here I go again. What is your compression on each cylinder? You could be getting poor fuel burning due to low compression. Time to do a thorough decarb on the engine. Its easy to do, and recommended in your manual, but most people don't until their engine is all gunked up inside and the rings are sticking and the ting is about to blow apart.<br /><br />Your intent is REMOVE the existing carbon buildup from the cylinders, heads, and rings, a spray decarb solvent product is needed. Buy at least 2 cans of decarb. Some people use one can per cylinder.<br /><br />Run engine at fast idle, with engine running, slowly spray liberal amount into each carb,<br />spray some more- for a couple minutes, now spray a larger amount into carbs until engine chokes out and stops,<br />remove spark plugs and spray decarb liberally into each cylinder, install the spark plugs, let it soak for 1 to 10 hours. <br />Start the engine and run at medium throttle, or if at the lake, run it at full throttle. It won't hurt to spray some more through the carbs. Run it for atleast 10 minutes to flush the crud out of your engine. Now remove and clean, or replace the spark plugs. <br /><br />If you have not done this before, you will see tons of black gunk coming out the exhaust, carbon, unburnt oil, sludge. This is something you must do to keep that Force on the water.
