And you're absolutely correct - I did respect that 3-in-the-morning effort of yours.<BR/><BR/>I just learned how to patch fiberglass and repair rudder parts on Saturday, and it felt awesome to head out on the water knowing I was responsible for the boat being steerable.

But you sleep better at night knowing that you did things right. Try it the other way: spill sea-foam down that carburetor and call'er done. People respect 3-in-the-morning efforts. Wish I could help with the carburetor. I just had to fiddle with mine, and learned a lot.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793666609242956069noreply@blogger.com
