I need some assistance please. The top cylinder plug keeps fouling out. It has corrosion build up around the insulator and gap almost looks like battery acid but a tan color. I mean even if I run it on the water for 30 mins. I wouldn't idle unless I clean them up and then it would run fine, but when I get home and take it out on the water the next time it would run crappy then I would have to clean them again then it runs ok, also if the motor wouldn't idle, but If i just give it a little gas it would stay on and put it in gear it would run fine, I get on plain and everything runs fine. Well the last time I took it out on the water it wouldn't idle for more than 10 seconds. I pulled the plug and it was corroded again so I cleaned it up and it idle fine. When I got home I pulled the plug and it looked ok , but it was idling rough on the trailer. So I went and bought new plugs and it was still idling rough. Keep in mind that the bottom plug isn't being corroded. Well I put sea foam in and it didn't make a difference. Well today I went outside to start the motor and I must have pulled about 20 times and nothing with the new plugs in. I choked it and nothing. someone said that I might be getting water in the cylinder. they said that I might have blown a head gasket. But would it hae run crappy when I am on plain on the water too. Because the only problem I was having was it idling and now it wont start. Please help me if you have any info. thanbk you

Will not start means nothing to me.

does it turn over(spin)
does it have compression and spark?
