    Regarding spark plugs fouling with carbon chunks. When I was a kid I had
    an 80 Yamaha motorcycle, oil injected, single cylinder. It was notorious for fouling
    the plug. I’d be cruising along and it would start spitting and sputtering,
    and most times quit all together. "Some" times it would spit and sputter
    until almost stopped, then let out a mighty backfire, and I’d be back
    on my way. My Honda buddies didn’t have this problem 🙂
    Not sure if an outboard would exhibit similar symptoms!
