My 1992 evinrude 200xp is running rich on the bottom 2 cylinders are rich, when I pull the plugs these 2 are black all of the rest look good. I bought the boat from lake of the ozarks and now it is in 3200ft (altitude). it has spark and good comp. It will foul these 2 plugs sometimes.
Check your jet sizes.
Make sure the jets have not backed out on those carbs, it happens!!!
Jets are factory. and they are tight
Pull #5 and #6 jets to see if they are2 sizes larger than the others. There was a service program back in those days to put larger jets in new motor to keep those bottom cylinders free from detonation.
so should i change those two jets?? I messed with the motor yesterday and noticed that the primer valve lever would leak a little fuel from around it, could that cause the problem??
Thanks
no one?

Primer valve probably has a hairline crack in it or the O ring is bad that happens. Compare the other jet sizes and change the bottom two 2 sizes up from the rest. Check your mids also.
ok thanks I replaced the little red switch and the o-ring and I put a new gasket in it with a new top.
Thanks
