Self mixing, how would this be possible? Does oil come out even when just cranking it over? Gear being engaged on oil pump?

I just pulled the plug, disconnected the vacuum line on petcock & drained carb bowl. Spun it over a few times & let sit. Hopefully when I do get it running, this doesn't happen again. Bystarter not closing cause this? I tested it & the needle does protrude out. I'll check it to see if th...

A new oem stock filter from Honda

I know. Im stumped too!! My friend who works on outboard motors is stumped too. Might be flooded. So I will try this. Thanks for all your help!!!

Took head off & dried up everything prior to a new plug too

Yes, plug does get wet

I clean it up, or put in a new one & gets wet again

Carb set to the factory settings

Should still sputter regardless though, bypassing with a few cylinder drops

Reeds look great
Tried exhaust on & off
No carbon buildup
Tried a couple drops first, no sputter at all
Checked spark

I'm out of ideas, don't want to drop off at a service shop. Put plug & wire back in. Still has spark. Just not sure if its enough. 40+cc's of premix went in spark hole & didn't fire.

I believe i found the problem. Checked ohms on plug wire. With cap screwed on I got a 9.74 reading. 8.0-8.5 is the range. Then I checked with cap screwed off. Reading is at the correct range. 4.29 (slightly over). I screwed cap back on & cant get a reading at all. Looks like problem lies within ...

Btw, I took muffler off and still won't fire... so it's not a blockage. I either think its cdi or fuel isn't getting picked up from bowl. I'll start with this spark ...

Spark is there, whether I go direct to frame, engine shroud, & used an alligator clamps on the ends of a cable. All signs point to a weak spark. Going to bench test cdi......

Checking for spark next with a jumper going to spark plug hole. Because compression is great.

Gotta throw that on the bbq to burn her out as well. Seemed fine when I was running it.
