Not sure how to deal with this prob on a continuing basis because non-

knowing what others may have added.

Install a fixed filter in the fuel line between the tank and the
outboard. It's an easy job and not that expensive. I did this
after several fuel incidents with our dinghy engine and it has been
trouble free since.

I prefer the Racor with the clear bowl. You can drain any water into a
soda can and discard it. There is no guesswork - you can see when it
has accumulated water.
