Title: Any Evinrude experts out there?
Post by: Capt. Bob on June 07, 2008, 10:10:37 AM

Well I posted to the various Johnson/'rude Forums and got little response so I thought I'd dance with who brung me  :shock:

96 200 V6. I'm fouling the lower right side (#6 I think) plug. The other five are perfect. I re-built the carbs last year and they seem to be working ok.
I can tell I'm dragging a cylinder while underway (sound, rpm fuel consump.) and it now backfires through the exhaust when I run it on the muffs. This is followed by a cloud of white smoke.

I know, it could be several things. I can clean the plug, hold it against the block and crank. I see a strong spark. Put it all back together and it fouls the plug.

ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated and as usual,

Thanks in advance.

Did you try posting the question here?  This guy is normally pretty quick and has helped us before. http://www.themarinedoctor.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl
