Where is the adjustment for the throttle plate? I checked the fuel pump diaphragm and didn’t see anything like a crack or hole but I will order a replacement. Adjusting the idle jet screw toward more rich doesn’t smooth it out. More recent symptom is when the ignition switch is turned off it...
Motor starts okay, idles rough and when put into gear sometimes runs fine and other times cuts to one cylinder. I put in new plugs and then took them out to see if they were burning clean. The bottom cylinder was clean but the top cylinder looks fouled after a short time at idle.

my engine, 1978 Johnson 25E78C 25 hp engine runs fine but there is a hole in the foot (see photo) where black oil comes out. Is this normal? Engine is recently acquired. Any suggestions? Click on photo to see it in proper orientation.
