Well old faithful left me rowing for the shore on sunday.
She cruising along just fine then coughed and pulled really hard to starboard (not sure what that was about) and died.
I checked the primer bulb and it was hard, cranked on it and it fired but on maybe one or holes only. I shut it back off and started paddleing.
A couple of guys in a pontoon saw me and offered to tow me to the dock.
I had to start it again to get right up to the dock and at almost full throttle and about 600 RPM's it just crept up to the dock. It was against the current too. I was wondering for a bit.
Got it home and "On the hose" it seemed to run better, we all know they do.
I really havent had the time to look at it yet. Just shot some fogging oil in it and will deal with it later i guess.
Its not been a good year for motors (or cars) this year.
Guess ill work on the race car for a bit....
