Re: Evinrude Lightwin problems

Usually that means the carb is set too rich, like Johnnyrude said. However, it can also mean a fouled plug. I would throw in another set and retry. A cheap and easy experiment. I have been fooled by a sub-par plug, that I thought was okay, before. You might also try backing each plug boot off the plug, while the engine is running, using insulated pliers. (Purpose-built, plastic pliers are best.) Sometimes, a fouled plug will pick up and start firing, if the ignition is made to produce its full voltage potential this way.

Long live American manufacturing!
