re; old gas

Bobski--Are you comfy with pulling the carbs to clean them ? Thats what it will need for sure as the gas has left varnish, especially in the pilot jets. And todays ethanol has its own issues,you should read up on it or just seek out non-eth for your boat and all your toys. If the carbs are fairly easy to remove, all you really need to do is remove the bowls, and clean with carb cleaner or acetone. You should be able to print out a diagram online,then reinstall them and start with with fresh gas. And using Seafoam for storage is good too. Edmund.
