I've had problems with clogged Venturi tubes due to bad gas. I've solved that problem. Last year it got very cold where I live (18 in south MS). I went duck hunting and the motor ran fine on the way in. After a few hours of hunting it died on the way out. It was relatively cold this morning when I went out and it acted the same. I haven't checked the fuel filter again, but if that's not the problem, then what is?
When I discoverd the bad gas, I emptied the tank. It had gunk in the bottom so I washed the tank with soapy water, rinsed it several times, dried it with acetone and let it sit outside for a day to further dry. Then I added tank water remover and carb cleaner. Would a frozen thermostat cause problems like this? I've made several runs around the river on the new gas and have had no problems until this moring.
Thanks to any and all suggestions.
