Hey I've got a 17' Montauk with a 2004 75hp Honda four stroke and a 10' Zodiac with an 2003 8hp Honda Four Stroke.
Both of them have been in the shop even before I could get the chance to use them. The honda expert, Ryan Marine, is telling me that the local increase in ethanol in the gas is screwing up the Carburetors in the two Hondas. They say that the just need to clean out the carburetor and it will work good as new. I took their word for it when my 8hp kept stalling whenever I shifted into gear. I didnt even bother trying the 75 for its sake.
My question is, is there any way I can prevent this from happening again?
