Just replaced points on my brotherinlaws 25HP. Spark is fine on both. Both cylinders work equally. Throttle starts to open after roller passed marks on cam. But every 5-8 seconds it "shoots " in exhaust at iddle. Less at hot than warm. Runs very fine though. Compression cold 122 on both. Cant detect any airleak. <br />Any ideas ????

sounds like its running a little lean. if it has an idle jet screw turn it counterclockwise until the 'shooting" stops
