[QUOTE="momule, post: 417497, member: 20155"] You guys are probably right in suggesting SeaFoam as a first option. Seems like I never get lucky enough to have a can of additive take care of mechanical problems though. I use Stabil in my fuel for ethanol and SeaFoam as a preventative just in case. I also run an external fuel/water filter just in case. The last time I put a used motor into service that had been sitting idle for several years it required a carb rebuild, impeller, new hoses, etc etc etc... But there's always a chance that the cheap option might work. And low RPM's beats the hell out of lots of other problems that an outboard can put ya through. [/QUOTE]
