J90SLEOC still gives head aches
Hello Gents, I am trying to open a new thread as my old one was related to bring the engine back to life.....finally after like a year we were able to try it on the water and see if carbs needed adjustment, on the hose I always thought it was running too lean or high but anyways: we got to the ramp cranked it up and started but I could notice that it would die soon, I kept priming it until I have running for a minute or two, RPM were about 900-1000 at Idle, once we untied it from dock, the thing just died and it wouldn't start no more, like did not even have ignition, pulled out some tools and tried to see if there was spark but the sunlight kept me out of making a statement, checked all fuses and everything looked fine, the ramp was getting busier we did not want to disturb others with our ordeal...and after around an hour or so we called it, drove back home, trimmed the engine down and this viscous things started coming out of the exhaust
I let the engine rest for like an hour or so and then tried on the muffs and what d heck....runs again like always did....
could it be that the carbs are too rich and engine is getting flooded?.....why it runs on muffs and died on the water?
I appreciate any help
Thank you guys!

...the top coil did not give enough juice to jump the 7/16 gap...swapped it with the bottom one and now the problem move to the bottom coil....faulty one....what bothers me is the fact the these two coils are new, only used twice a month for about 5 minutes of so......I will have to order a new one and perhaps while at it a new set of plug wires would not hurt....
