Hey guys. Used my boat the other day for the first time this year. Started it in the yard before I went to make sure all was well. Started right up and ran great. Went fishing with it. Trolled for a long time real nice. Went full throttle for a half mile and brought it back down to idle. The motor ran rough and died. Could not start it so pulled plugs since I did squeeze the bulb to check if it was hard. It was. Plugs had gas so cleaned them up and barely got it going. Trolled another couple hours and it ran great. Went full throttle again to landing and the darn thing wanted to die again when I brought it back down to idle, barely getting to the dock. What do you think? Sticky float? Will seafoam help me? Thanks for your help, Junky...........
We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
