Actual boat experience. Took the boat out to the Sacramento Delta and San
Joaquin River for a test. New starter, worked. Boat ran like crap when
starting. Gasoline smell. Had some gas around the water separator. When
I pulled the can to replace, I carry spares in the boat, there were 3 pin
hole corrosion holes on the back side. So, I assume the starting up run
like crap was air in the lines to the fuel injections. Ran great after
replacement and no gas fumes. Getting ready for a Donner lake trip.


Wow! Glad to hear you were able to diagnose and fix the damn problem.

I was first looking for a leak where I disconnected a fuel line from the
separator to get better access to the starter.
