sorry to be long winded but it's been a frustrating couple of weeks with mr. mercury here. I still have to get a new plastic cover for my fuel tank vent. Aparently mine has like a redundant arrangement with a small cover and piece inside a larger cover. The mechanic said ther was'nt much water in the tank but possibly the guy I bought the boat from used some formula as a dry gas or something not intended for marine use and that could of gelled in tank and caused blockage problem. He said a lot of guys use regular automotive products like dry gas in their boats but they are not meant for that and cause problems. I got to listen he has been a merc tech for 30 years. So I will see, ran boat for half hour in horrible wind and slop yesterday to test and ran like a new motor, no hesitation any more and lauches that heavy 18.5 like a sling shot ;D ;D ;D ;D
