Thanks Don, will report back. I will be replacing the spark plugs, and fuel filter today and then give it another run and see if it made any difference. She ran great and started easier than any motor I have ever ran. And I'll tell you what suprised me the most, the fuel mileage! It was unreal that I ran as far as I did and used as little fuel as I did even with this big old boat. I would easily say that it was much more efficient than my VMAX 150 Carb'd was on my 18.5 ft boat! Oh and how weird it is to have a motor that doesnt smoke!
