man,what happened to the Evinrude thread?

Sorry about my other post. That's the problem with spoofers, they take

These guys know them up and down and inside out.
But not much to learn.
Remembering if 3 things with 3 settings each have to be right to start
her up and keep her running. You got 1 right way to do it and 8 wrong ways.
So if you don't remember the right settings it's going to average about
4 1/2 tries to get it right. That's why folks have trouble.
You got to know your settings.
