    Vapor lock or something else?

    I joined with unlimited tows for $130.00. I never knew the service was something that you could join.

    Vapor lock or something else?

    Well, after the $500 towing bill anyway. I did find a disconnected vacuum type hose that may or may not have been part of the issue. I talked to a local mechanic that wasnt sure what the hose was for.

    Vapor lock or something else?

    I checked mine and it was working just fine. I added about 6 gallons of premium fuel (which topped off the tank) and took it back out for a test run. It was over 90 degrees and very humid. I ran the boat on 3 different excursions. Waited different time intervals before restarting ( 15, 30, 45...

    Okay. I think that the "closed loop" part confused me. I will look for the valve on my boat as soon as I can. Thanks.

    I have read that on a chemical forum and I had a 100% full tank of it.

    I appreciate the input. Im just evaluating what I did differently this year than previous years.

    Thanks for the info. Did yours restart after a cool down period with a busted valve? Also, my cooling system is not a closed loop, so I may not have that valve. I will certainly check and see. Thanks.

    Vapor lock or something else?

    Thanks for the info. Like previously stated, this was the first time that this has ever happened in 6 years of running this boat in very hot conditions. The only thing different this time was that the tank was completely full of winter gas and I did not mix in fresh fuel before going out...

    Vapor lock or something else?

    Let me try and find it. I'm wondering if a full tank of winter blend gas may have caused it. Usually, I add fresh fuel after winter storage. Didn't do that this time. That said, having VL after six years strikes me as very odd.

    Vapor lock or something else?

    Greetings. I experienced a condition with my 5.0 MPI that has me baffled. After being winterized with a full tank of fuel, I ran 30 minutes to the local sand bar. After about two hours, I tried to leave. The engine started, sputtered and died. I tried starting it for the next 30 minutes with no...

    A couple of different winterizing questions.

    Thanks for the detailed response. I assumed that some water could back flush when reducing power since my exhaust tips have a flapper in them, but I wasnt sure past that. I used to do the adding AF with muffs, but it got to be a bit of a pain. I now just drain ( I have an easy drain knob) add AF...
