Ok I have a 1996 Evinrude 200hp 60degree, with 6 carbs, if you know this motor this one is one of those that have the plastic carbs..ok , my problem is that one of the carbs , if you are inside the boat looking to the carbs the the bottom one at the the left, spits gas out of it every couple of seconds,I pull the plug and it looks wet, I had a problem, the motor was running rich , there was to much smoke out of the exhaust, I rebuild the 6 carbs and now I don't see that much smoke and it starts very fast , but still that carb spits, ...I swapped the carbs and still the same problem, swapped, the wire , plug and coil from another cylinder and still spits the same cylinder , checked the compression and is good 110psi per cylinder..any sugestion..thanks

OK, what motor do you have? A carb'd 200 is a 90* looper. A 60* 200 is an E-Tec. What's the model number?

OK, it's a 90* 3 liter looper. What spark plugs are you using?

QL78YC, I haven't changed the plugs those were there when I bought the boat 4 weeks ago, first time I put it on the water it did runs fine , except of the smoking and running rough at idle

Yep, that plug will be fine. It's not unusual for those carbs to spit out some fuel but if it's excessive there might be an issue with the reeds. Or the reed box gaskets.

that makes sence, are the reed repairables, or do they have to be changed if there is any issue with them, is there is any way to check them or just go and change it..thanks for all your explanation
