Spoke with a mechanic about going through an engine on a pontoon we are looking at buying.
This is on a 90hp 4 stroke Honda and the shop wanted $250 per carb to clean them... so I figured I would undertake that myself as I have a manual and have cleaned plenty of carbs over the years.
He also mentioned to make sure the plugs have no rust on them, the top two #1 and #2 did have some junk on them while 3/4 looked as expected. Any tips or suggestions from those who work on outboards way more than me?
Plugs from left to right #4 #3 #2 #1 with number four being the bottom cylinder.
