plafz, Pogo, Frogman.. Boat fixed..
Friend passing through from California..
One of those, "give me a screwdriver." Guys. Young feller.. 5 minutes. Done.. Done. Will explain more when he and his girlfriend wake up.. As suspected,, Gummed up from that damn corn oil crap.. If I have to pay $20 a gallon for real gas, I will never ever put that stuff in the boat again..

Install a fuel cut-off valve on the fuel line and let the engine burn the last drops of fuel in the carburetor at the end of the day, that's what we do to airplanes.

I always do that on my motor. On an outboard you don't even need a valve. Just disconnect the hose at the motor and let the gas run out of the carb.
