I'd check the compression of each cylinder with a small inexpensive guage. and also check the lower unit for scratches and chips. most outboards will have fueling problems from time to time but as long as the compression is good then that will be the taddle tale of any misuse or abuse.
call the local dealer to get the specs on what kind of compression it should be getting and make sure its getting withing 20lb of that.
also make sure that the spark plugs are equally burned. this will tell you that all the cylenders are getting fuel and spark.
if you take it to hoopers outboards in murray they will do all that for you for a small fee. it may be worth it considering what it could cost you to rebuild a motor that should have been junked in the first place. DZ
