hey everyone...well, yes i've done everything above.
i odn't run the high grade. i run the mdeium grade fuel that johnson and most marine mechanichs' recommend.

I also have one of those extra bottles that measures out exactly the 50:1 oil ratio.

i called a local outboard repair shop here and they said something about the seals in the chamber possibly being loose and getting oil to the spark plug. but at $140 an hour i'm hesitent to take it in for repairs.

any help would be appreciated.
