Im getting a bunch of soot thats exits with exhaust water. Theres tons when im running it at home on the muffs. It must be running real rich or something its not oil from engine or outdrive. Its comes out with exhaust water. Any ideas? I have another post up with some photos.

Bump.

Does anyone know the specifications on this coil that I should be in? On this YouTube video, in comments poster said I need to replace my coil but has a different one then me, https://youtu.be/fLIfX1MvI1I. I’m trying to figure out if I need to replace. Then on this site I found a new coil of my exact one and specifications are slightly out of range from my used one I tested. Any ideas?
