Decided to take the Tolman out on the St. Marks River here in NW FL cuz some of my sailing friends were rafted up upriver. *In my yard, could not get the damn thing to start. *Fuel was no ethanol with Stabil, had run the carb dry too. *Played with the manual fuel enrichment toggle thingy under the cowling (Yamaha 90 hp) and got her running. *So, off we go to the river.

Going up river, she was running rough, wouldnt run at idle either. *A mile or so upriver we stopped to look at a gator and she would barely start. *Decided it was best to go home and figure it out. *Got all the way back to the landing and then remembered, I forgot to reset the fuel enrichment thingy to "normal". *Sho nuff, that was it.

With engine running good, went upriver and found friends. *Leaves are turning including the cypress so it was really nice.

Sometimes it is the simplest things that can shut you down. Glad all
went well...eventually.
