As a recovering alcoholic for 54 years now the only thing I might ask, has he reached out to you for help or doesn't he realize he has a problem. If he has PTSD or suicidal thoughts most Legion Posts can steer him to help. Other wise depending on the post he may just have found another place...
Also 50 out of every 100 may be Prince Frogs and no telling what the outcome may be. Also be certain to identify the species as accidentally licking a Sonoran Desert Toad can lead to a bad outcome.
Does the alarm buzzer work? Do you get any beeps? Is the VRO still being used or do you use premix? Find the tan wire to the temperature alarm on the engine block. Jump it to ground with the key on and the buzzer should give a warning. If not you may be overheating and don't know it.
On a Johnson GT 150, the S.L.O.W. (Speed Limiting and Warning) mode activates and drops RPMs to roughly 2,500 by disabling half the cylinders when the engine senses an overheat condition. There are a few other signals from the VRO if I remember right which also could activate SLOW. I sold my...

That was my original plan before I found there was a couple of inches of gas still in the tank. Since I had earlier got some sawdust smoldering sawing through a thick section by the bow I decided to lift it high rather than wait until I got it out of my unisured building.
Yesterday's project. All done with cheap Craftsman (Lowes) battery tools. This is my old shop that is on property I own 25 miles from home and hasn't had power for years. Once I used a long extension and breaker bar to give the lag bolts on the motor mounts a quarter turn they came out with a...
Remember
My Dad had a HP35 I think it was. I thought it was cool but wasn't ready to learn RPN. It wasn't too much later I was able to barter some HVAC work at the local calculator store for a TI sr-50. The older I get the more I miss those glowing red numerals. Still have my K&E log log...
