First of let me start with Hello I'm new here. Name is Billand I hail from the Buffalo NY area.
I am looking for help with my engine. I have an 88 Islander 22' with merc cruiser 165 3.7L
When I am trolling at 1-2 mph, it loads up with carbon and wants to stall. If I put it in neutral, and rev up engine, a cloud of black dust like stuff comes out of the exhaust and floats on the surface of the water.
After reving the engine several times, it seems to clear and runs fine.
Is this something that is caused by the wrong spark plugs (to cold)
or perhaps it has something to do with a carb. adjustment?
I don't know the answer, that is why I am asking for help here.
Thanks in advance for your help, Capt. Bill
