Nice fish !

What was the cure for your engine problems?

Just kept going through it and adding hose clamps, replaced a couple of
small sections of hose that looked suspect, there were two that had kinks in
them (very small hoses), but mainly changing the one that goes from the
bottom of the float to the choke solenoid. Don't know if this did anything,
but I pulled the plugs. They are the flat end kind. I pushed them into
carpet to get the little bit of gunge off them, as they were new, but looked
a little oily an dirty. Taped one spark wire that looked like it needed it.
Made sure all were plugged in, one being in need of pushing in by about
1/4", and moving the wires so they didn't touch each other and crossfire.
Only real adjustment was I raised the idle a hair. It ran pretty good last
trip. I was thinking I may borrow a gas hose and try it with another hose,
but it ran good on this one. So, guess it may have been a combination of
small things, or maybe it had a piece of crud in it that it finally puked
out. Started first try.

The weather here is to die for now around sundown, so we will probably be
doing some more fishing, and testing it some more.
