Re: another fuel problem

Thanks JB going to take it for maiden voyage this morning keeping close to shore for a while should push my son's little 12 ft jon like the wind [I hope]and again thanks to all who helped get this motor back to life but like you all know that's why motor dealers have them hanging on their racks the [labor charges] sites like this one keep the backyard mechanics in business.
