We then completely re-built the carburetor and found fuel that had gelled in the bowl and filter causing the low speed jet to run lean. A fuel issue is not covered under warranty but we took care of it anyways Ryan Crawford

You know what: As I stated earlier...I have NO sympathy for the robber barons in the repair..industry. However.. the symptoms and discovery of GEL in the Carbs makes perfect sence. It's ETHANOL my friends. I have been there....not with my boat but with a motorcycle that was used infrequently....infrequently..THAT's the problem.. $800 to FIX. The motorcycle had 4 Carbs and they were a bitch to remove. I sold the motorcycle AS IS.

Fair and Balanced... NB
