This comes from Jay(Merc. tech). When you foul a plug, run at about 3500 rpm's for a mile or so then power up again, that usually clears out the fouled plug. I've done it twice this past year, worked both times.

Any technical ?'s regarding Opti-Max motors needs to go directly to Jim Merten at Merten Marine in Oshkosh. He is the best in the business. Did an excellent job on my 225 and gave me some good advise to boot. If your fowling plugs there is a root cause which is most likely not the plugs.Jim can break the motor down relativley quick and locate that root cause. Also, he has a good working relationship with Mother Mercury and on occation has found She can be quite generous with these motors. Give him a call. 920-231-6751
