I have a 95 Evinrude 88 hp. E88TSLEOC. I overhauled this motor about 2 months ago. New pistons, rings, seals gaskets and stuff. I soaked and overhauled both carbs complete with new floats, seals and gaskets. Running oil at 25 to 1, per manual for break in purpose. That's 32oz of oil to 6 gallons of gas. Mixed with gas when I fuel up, this motor has no VRO.
First time we took it out it ran great. Started right up and purred with no stalling. Couldn't ask for better. We ran around with varying speeds stoping and starting with no issues for about an hour.
The next week we took it out and it the idle was a little worse. It still run strong when you take off.
I put new set of plugs in and it idled better for the couple hours out that day. Next time out it didn't idle so great and would stall like it was flooding out. Cleaned the plugs and it done better, a little. I will recheck the compression and spark plugs next week. Buddy said there's to much oil in the eng. Here's pere picture of plug. All 4 plugs looked the same.
