My boat was laid up for thee years. I finally got it out. It stalled on me and could not get it started. I was towed in and replaced the water seperator and noticed a lot of floating debris. I have been putting 30 to 40 gallons of gas in each trip with fuel system cleaner. Do you think this will eventually clean out? It has not stalled an more since Icleaned the filter.

Not to say you won't have anymore starting or stalling problems; that's precisely the advise my friend gave me who runs a gas tank repair business. You may want to change that filter cartridge out after a bit.

Sure just keep on checking the filter,I hope none of the debris get stuck in the carb.
