    Spark plugs splash deposits (glazing)

    I'm running a 175 Evinrude Intruder motor 1995. I'm getting splash deposits on my plugs or glazing as they call it. What would cause this? Could this be the reason i can't seem to find the 400 rpm's i've been missing forever? The plug indicator said it's caused by misfire. I'm running champion...

    Surging motor at wot

    1995 evinrude intruder. I'm back to scratching my head over this one again. This spring this motor would top out at 5500-5700. Now i 'm lucky to reach 5000 rpm. It will run up to 5000 rpm then drop off to 4700, run back up to 5000 then repeat the process. I'd say thats a surge. #4 Plug looks...

    Dilemma... whether to use enigine tuner or not?

    After reading several search posts about piston slap or chatter after using. I'm wondering if i should run this can of engine tuner through my motor or not. Motor is running fine, for the first time in a longtime. Maybe i should leave well enough alone, any thoughts on this from the wise men?

    Idle mixture screws 1995 evinrude intruder

It refuses to run there. I can get it to idle somewhere around 5 1/2 to 6 1/2. I guess i should start there...

    Decarb question?

    I have the shraeder valve on my fuel primer. Is the BRP engine tuner for decarbing or just a fuel system treatment? I wouldn't mind doing a decarb on my motor....... 175 1995 evinrude intruder. Its not had one since i've had it, probably about time, or is it really necessary at all?
