1978,Very black plugs are sigbs of:1. Over fueling.2. Over oiling.Your correct oil to fuel ratio is: one pint TCW-3 rated oil to six gallons of unleaded fuel-87 octane.Your carburetors may be in need of attention. The rebuildis easy with a manual in hand.Look here for manuals. http://www.outboardrepairs.com/manuals/
