Next message: Norm of Bandersnatch: "RE: lv-ab: My ice cream is hard"
i had some fuel problems with my outboard, a johnson 30, last year which
eventually worked itself out which i had attributed to water in the fuel.
perhaps it was that i was getting gas with ethanol in it. since then
everything has worked very well.
