HI everyone. We have a 2001 16? CC with a 1990 50hp Johnson. The boat was given to us and had been sitting for 2 years on the side of the house. After a month of weekends ?rebuilding carbs, rebuilding the trailer? the motor was running great. The only thing that was not done since the prior owner had put a stabilizer in the gas was drain the fuel tank.
We starting have water in the fuel problem so I added 4 ounces of StarTron enzyme treatment to the fuel in a 21 gal tank, cleaned the carbs again, replaced all the fuel lines to the VRO pump, and installed a water fuel separator and when I cranked it up it would not run at all at idle and ran very rough at just above idle and the filter on the water fuel was filling up every 10 minutes.
We then cleaned the carbs again, replaced the fuel lines again, new plugs and a link & sync then hooked the motor up to a 6 gallon external tank with fresh gas. The motor now runs like its brand new!
I just finished siphoning all the gas I could get out using the primer hooked up to the fuel line nipple in the splash well ?about 19 gal?.
What my question is.
Could I have used to much StarTron, I was told that you could not over treat with this product?
Should I go into the tank through the sending unit access and remove the remaining gal or so of gas or just refill the tank deluding the remaining gas?
Should I try and separate the water from the gas in the 5 gal cans and reuse the gas I siphoned out?
Thanks for your help
