I am helpig someone with 150 1985 Johnson. The motor seems to be flooding at idle. I have oil (black not raw) running down the mid section as if the power gasket is leaking. The plugs are also fouling from the flooding. I also notice milky substance on inside of carbs and on throttle plate. I asuming this may be just condensation? <br /><br />I have cleaned carbs twice. Double and tripple checked floats. I have verified the fuel primer selenoid is not leaking into carbs by pinching the hoses with little clamps. I have sync and linked three times. I have set idle and throttle pick up timing more than once. And rechecked after that. It seems to do it with the cowl on or the cowl off. I can spot the milky substance on throats. Then drain carbs and fuel water seperator and find no water which leads me to beleive it condensation perhaps. Every time I clean carbs and plugs it runs good fr a short period then right back to not wanting idle under a load. Oh yea it idles fine on the hose but free in gear it acts as if it loads up. I also cant get the idle much higher than around 650 or so with out making idle timing extremely out of spec. MAybe it is not getting enough air? Bigger jets? Since this motor does not have idle air adjustmen. Any help would be appreciated. I have searched and searched using the serach feature but cant find the answers I amlooking for. Thanks in advance.
