Mac I will give that guy a call thank you!
I do run startron or stabil. Thanks for the input Joe I will have to give it a look. Mac I will give that guy a call thank you! In other news I went to troll the other morning 41 degrees and it fired right up!
You have that right Boondox. Never use stabil for storage only during the season. (I sold the company that makes it, software so maybe I am biased lol) Very glad I didnt spend on a new outboard...for now. I got to 42 on gps fishing alone the other morning so I dont meed to go any faster. I am going to call the guy mac suggests and see about a new tank this winter. Maybe expand the compacity a bit.Reliability has been solid enough that I think Ill fish tog season with it.
Fuel lines were only touched briefly because they were replaced immediately! Im going to replace the tank as the mechanic that did the carbs said it ran fin on his external.
Could be simply the pickup in the old tank is gummed up.
You know you should not use stabil fuel treatment to store your boat right?? Stabil has alcohol in it that attracts water so stop useing it!! if you are when you store it the water turns to gum and vanish etc etc that's why people are buying ethonal free fuel for two strokes like ice augers cause it stores better.. threw out the year.. I bet your glad you did not call on that 4 stroke now!! Now that the motors working for sure at least you know something up with fuel now!! And you don't need a new motor..
Marine sta-bil is alcohol free... read the label if you don't believe me....Star tron can stabilize fuel for up to 2 years....

Mineral spiris and red dye? the problem with that is most mineral spirits contain dentured alcohol in the form of acetone. .
Sorry Boon.Mineral spirits are petroleum based.There is no denatured alcohol, or any form of alcohol, in mineral spirits.
So is stabil bud.. check the msds also know as a material safety data sheet there listed as same products.. hydrotreated light petrolem distillate ..
