    OK, so the engine runs pretty well now?  If the bottom plug still looks messy, perhaps you need to pull the powerhead and check the lower seal components, not a tough job.  Does the engine still “pop”/falter at mid range when accelerated quickly?  Is the engine getting up to temp?  It won’t idle very well if it is running too cold.
