Hey all, I have a 2000 200hp evinrude ficht I just picked up. engine starts and idles fine. When I put the boat in the water as soon as I shift into gear putting the motor under a load it starts to kinda surge or misfire. I've ran a diagnostic and there are no faults. compression in all cylinders is good. I indexed all new spark plugs and after I ran it for a bit I pulled the plugs and the one on cylinder #5 is clean and looks covered in gas. the rest all have black soot. What could cause this?
