have had a couple of instances where i will be towing my 6 year old on the tube at slow speeds and then go to cruise around the lake but hardly no power find one fouled out plug on both occasions--wet plug-- will dry out and power comes back--different cylinder-never same one-it is a 1988 evinrude 110 using 50 to 1 should i back off of oil mixture slightly?

Re: too much oil??

The last thing big outboards like is idleing for long periods, they like to "load up". After a long period of idleing just run it out at wot for a bit and it'll clear out and be happy. Your oil mix is good, don't change it.

I double rockyrude advise. Give it a good run, it dont need to be more than 2 or 3 min at wot and your trouble will be gone.
