re: Issues with Boat hasn't been run in two plus years

A guy I recently bought a used boat from told me a similar story

Said it had 35 gal of non ethanol fuel in it. I took him at his word. I eliminated the oil injection and when I added more gas/oil to account for the elimination of the oil injection what I had was a gas that was

a) mixed at nearly twice the ratio it was supposed to be because it didn't have near the gas in it he said it did, and

b) gas that had a shite load of water in it because what little was in it had water in it

Needless to say I got to pump ask that shite out and clean the carbs. I'll never take a guy at his word like that again without hearing it run.
