Seems like the issues you were having were mostly related to the "gas" that we have out there.
Yeah. I'm not buying ethanol gas for my boat ever again. I'll pay the extra 30 cents per gallon.

I, too, remember the days of leaded/low-lead gasoline with NO corn alcohol in it. No phase separation issues/worries for nearly a year, and with SeaFoam or Sta-bil, gasoline could be safely stored for 3-5 years.

Remember the Sunoco pumps where you could "dial" your octane rating up to 107 octane? (only 103 in some states) I used to stop at Sunoco on the way to the drag strip "back in the day".
