Is there a logical reason that might connect these two things, like anti-siphon valve or some such, or was it just a coincidence?
I filled up the gas tank today for the first time in many trips, and when we first powered up there was a noticeable shortfall in power. Starting and idling at the dock before that was normal. It seemed to rev normally in N too.
We messed around and started to pack it in a couple times and go home, but it began to smooth out after 5mi or so of running upstream from the dock and back, and it was normal for the rest of our time out, hitting over 40 once in roughish water.
It was really damp here this am, but the engine cover was on. The first manifestation was just power shortage, and it'd only do like 3,500 wide open; after we stopped and tried again, there was a noticeable continuous stutter or misfire with it too.
I'm gonna pull the plugs and look at them, maybe look at the inside of the dist cap again. I wanted to ask the question though, in case there is possibly something about the fillup that was the issue.
