I have 95' 20hp merc that the top cylinder is running hot. I have cleaned out all water passages new water pump kit and all. What could be the problem? Thanks David.

With one carb you can't be having a carburetor too lean problem with the affected cylinder. Otherwise carbon build up possibly blocking your exhaust, stuck ring....might do a "decarb" Google the word. Wrong spark plug heat range. Hard to say not standing next to you.

I noticed there was a lot of carbon build up could be the problem. I'll check out the decarb. Thanks.
