What do the fuel lines look like?

You can check the spark by pulling a plug, re-connecting the wire, and pull the cord to watch for spark. It works best in a dark room and somebody may have to stand in back to see the plug. A stuck needle valve will make it act the same way, you said it's been sitting up for a long time. Good luck w...

That is just wrong!!!

Nicely done! Trout must be biting good now, I'll be glad when I can go again.

I was just looking at your repair of the fuel line and also noticed no clamps on 2 of the connections. I'm glad Steve noticed it first!

BBG, you are right about the socials we used to have. They were a great way for everybody to get together, and I miss them, too.

Well, well. I thought it sounded like it was starved for fuel, seen small 2-cycle engines do the same thing and small adjustment clears it up. But how in the world did the water get in the fuel? Glad he got you going again.

It could have been those plugs you changed, they do go bad sometime. Where I work we have an LE boat to patrol the lake on site. It was skipping, running bad, and finally quit cranking altogether. We did some things to it and finally changed both plugs. It cranked right up and ran after that.

Replace the ignition cables, that could be part of the problem. I'd also mix some fresh non-ethanol gas with sea-foam mixed 1 oz. per gallon. You can mix it richer if you want, it won't hurt the motor. If it doesn't run better, your carbs could need some adjustment. Another thing I'd check is your f...

Stay the course, Billy. Things have got to get better one day, we just have to wait it out. I enjoy reading your stories about growing up in Fl., and your posts from Yates Creek. I hope you don't leave.

Mud Ducker, did you have any luck out there Saturday?

Well, Ga. didn't close it's border or any ramps and Florida people are coming here to launch. I don't see what the difference is here, why is it just closed one way? I don't care if they come up here to fish or go boating, but I would like to see the roads to Fl. opened back up. Not just because I w...

Neither my wife nor me have any signs of any illnesses, and I work for the Ga. park service. I don't think we are a threat to any of you folks down that way.

If I wanted to fish in Wakulla Co., would they let me drive through or am I gonna get turned around and told to go home? I gotta get some salt air!

I thought the ramp was closed, it doesn't sound like it was. Heck, I shoulda loaded up and went on down to fish.
