Hey Gang!
After last night’s raccoon shift, it took me awhile to get going today. One very large coffee and I was ready to start my first winterizing task in a few years. I read Tin Man’s decarburization (is that a word?) with SeaFoam, and decided to do it before putting the boat away. Got a small gas can with ¾ gallon of gas and mixed one can, (16 oz I think) of the stuff.
I did it in three stages and I tell you, after the first run that motor smoke its butt off.
(One of my neighbors drove to the cul-de-sac to investigate the “new noise” and all the smoke)! I knew than I was doing GOOD.!!! ;D ;D
I repeated the process twice more, by the time I was done running that special mix, the motor not only ran smother but also ran at higher RPM’s.
Tomorrow I’ll change the lower unit gear oil and to satisfy my curiosity, I’ll measure the compression again before doing the fogging thingy, lastly is the frame for the tarp. Now... that’s gonna be depressing! :'( :'(
