Ok so I bought this motor serial number og990070 and checked the basics compression all was well then I got it home and put it into a drum and cranked it I noticed it wasnt spitting water out so I remove the hose and dig the dirt dobber nest out of it and boom it was fine then I took it out on the lake and got on plane and noticed it was dropping a cyclinder so I took it home and upon further inspection I saw the bottom cyclinder spark plug boot wasnt completely seated again problem solved then I got to wondering what else I could find wrong and needed to be replaced I started with the fuel filter it was indeed almost completely filled with trash so I went on to the carb and removed it and all of its componets when I got the float bowl open the inlet valve was laying in the bowl I think this may have happened when I transported it to the place I was working on it in the back of my truck laying on its side so I break the rest of it down and soak and spray andblow it out when I put it all together on the motor I follow mercs instructions pertaining to the air/fuel setting and for some reason this thing is still running like crap I cant for the life of me figure out why or whats wrong and its smoking pretty good and the plugs are wet and black what gives any help would be greatly appreciated......sorry for the long thread I'm just being as descriptive as I can Thanks!
