Trying to get a feel on plugs being wet on my 95 model 50hp Johnson J50TLEOD two cylinder. I've adjust, re-adjusted and then adjusted more and each time I pull plugs and inspect they are always wet. I can't help but think a healthy engine properly adjusted will burn clean, or am I wrong? How many of you have medium size engines in this hp range that actually have dry plugs after running on the water? When I first got this engine one cylinder (top) had a dry plug and the bottom was wet but it wouldn't take throttle so I got the carbs re-built. It now runs okay except for the wet plugs. Am I being too picky? I could just leave it alone and say the heck with it but I feel it shouldn't be doing this. This may be comparing apples to oranges but even my weedwhacker and leafblower (2 strokes) have dry plugs after operation.
