I have spoken to alot of people about bogging and they have said they are starting to have the same problems,,,,all agreee that the ethanol in the gas is causing this problem among boaters,,,,the thought cam eup that by adding a small amount of Jet Fuel to your gas will help the problem greatly.
These guys have had re worked carbs,,cleaners,,,new carbs and after awhile they start to bog down again. I would like to hear from you all to see if any have tried this and what your thoughts are about the 10% ethanol in gas.
I was also advised to use Chevron gas,,, for some reason it does not have much or hardly any ethanol.
Thanks,,,Mike

Mike, you have been listening to a load of bovine excrement. If "they" all agree "they" are all wrong. These must be the same guys that insisted that microwave ovens make food radioactive.

E10 does not cause bogging. Engine problems cause bogging.

Adding JPX fuel oil to the gas can have no beneficial effect.

E10 is E10. Putting a different brand name on it does not change that. Chevron does not have less ethanol than other brands. Look at the pump.

Agreed.

Let "them" do it and you sit back and watch the show. Don't be a guinea pig.
