[QUOTE="BeerMe, post: 399217, member: 20117"] My first ever YouTube video as photobucket was giving me fits. Still have a few very slight leaks but I'm not too worried about them. Wasn't even enough for the water to pool up. Just damp aluminum. The outboard fired up pretty easily and after we had just got to WOT it died. I pulled it a few times and it would start and idle pretty good but trying to accelerate it would die again. After doing that about 5 times it started running fine. I think there was just some air in the gas line or something. I need a new one. I'm pretty sure the PO ran ethanol gas through this one and the inside lining is very brittle. I guess since that is the case some of it could have came loose and clogged the line or junked up the carb a little. We ran it for about an hour with no more issues though. Check out the vid if you want to see it run. https://youtu.be/G7HZ-xs0m4s [/QUOTE]
