So the motor (1991 Johnson 60HP) has been running real well. I fouled a plug a month back and noticed that my top carb was spitting a lot of fuel. Sure enough, the top plug was fouled and the other two plugs looked pretty good. I leaned out the top mixture screw a little, but did not want to over compensate for something that isn't functioning correctly.
Purchased a new carb rebuild kit. Put the pieces together correctly, and noticed the motor ran even smoother and idle'd crisper now. However, I do notice that with the carb cover off, I still see the top carb spitting fuel a tiny bit. Not nearly as bad as it was spitting before, but my guess is that it is spitting through that small gasket that sits below in the middle of the carb. Just a guess however.
I keep checking the plugs, and sure enough the top plug is always a little more oiley and "rich" after running the motor some. Should I try and lean the top mixture screw a little more since the motor is running soooo well...or how could I maybe keep the top carb from spitting fuel?
