My 1999 Johnson 150 has been running rough below 2000 RPM for a while. Last trip out encoraged me to start checking things out. Pulled the plugs and found 5 plugs look like it is running a little rich but one plug has me stumped.The plug looks like it has never fired or been exposed to fuel or oil. Looks like I just in stalled it. I did not see any evidence of water on the plug or in the cylinder. I pulled the plugs about an hour after a run. Would love to have some input on what can cause this to happen. Thanks, Mike

Start by checking spark on that cylinder, then run a compression test. You may need to repair the carburetors.

Sparkplug Inspection
Thank You for your input. My tech will be looking at it this Monday. He said some thing about an O-ring at the head to block may be breached letting a very small amount of water in that cylinder. I am sure he will start as you sugested. Is what he said sound like it could cause the plug to be so new, and clean looking ? Did you ever see that in your experience ? Thanks, Mike
