Well this is a game changer!!

[3 Squids]

Got the fuel pump put together today. Went to fire her up and nothing. Pumped the ball and can hear gas going into the bowls. Turned the primer nob up and pumped the ball to spray fuel in the intake. Fired right up until it burnt the fuel out. Great here we go...bad reeds?? Bad rings not pulling Vacuum???? I'm about to give up and my dad stops by. Puts his hands over a carb and has me turn it over. Sucked his hand slam up against the carb. He pulled his hand off and it looked like 2% milk coming out. Apparently the tank has quite a bit of water in her.

Pulled the carb plugs and pumped fresh gas through them til it was nice and green. Put it back together and ran it off a remote tank. Ran great. Whew thought I may be putting the Merc on her sooner than I wanted.
