I'm a marine mechanic but not familiar with small outboards. This is mine and has ran perfect since February up till 2 weeks ago. I use it several times/week in all conditions. I fished in heavy rain and right away after starting it wouldn't go over 3000. And hasn't since, unless I do the lean death run (unclip fuel line. It takes off before stalling). What would cause the condensation pictured? It happens within minutes of running. Head is warming up to temp and no condensation on the powerhead. Just the carb and close to it.
I've tried
-Several new plugs (L77JC4 .040 and QL82C .030).
-New gas/oil to make sure that's good. No water evidence found.
-individually disconnecting each plug wire. Big difference each cylinder so suspect firing is OK but not eliminating that it's sparking right.
-running with cowl and air silencer off to try to stave off the condensation. No difference.
Mostly just asking a reason for heavy condensation that fast besides humidity.
Or if this is normal on small engines?
