I have a 98 60hp Mercury that seems to hesitate once in a while when I first start to add power. As I increase power 1/3-1/2 throttle it smooth out and I can run full power without a miss for as long as I want. I changed plugs a few days back and noticed that the no. 1 cly. had a little more oil around the threads than the other two. The only reason that I replaced the plugs was that they were around three years old but I hadn't noticed any hesitation before. Could it be that I might have a faulty plug on the low side? I am using WallMart TCW-3 oil and haven't seemed to have any problem with it before. I also use straight unleaded fuel with a fuel filter however I did add a can of (seafoam) to the 12 gal. gas tank and then toped it off if that might of caused a problem. Any ideas ? Thanks
