dreamweaver... I had the same problem with my 35HP Johnson. I tilted the motor up and sprayed Merc Power tune into the plug hole and let it sit for a few days. Keep spraying a few times a day. Then take it out on the water and open it up while spraying some into the carb. It worked for me, made a big difference.
