Hey and thanks in advance for any help you guys may be able to render. Two outings ago the port engine seemed to stumble coming out of the hole but was able to plane and seemed to run fine. Last trip out, I could feel the port engine dragging on the plane, loss of speed and synchronizer swinging to stb as though the port engine was missing.

First thing I noticed was the fuel/water separator was not full of fuel. I had a new fuel pump so I went ahead and replaced it. New points, plugs, condenser and timed but I get the same thing... occasional miss or sputter in th 2000 + rpm range. Also rebuilt the carb.

Any of this sound familiar?

Thanks,
Greg
