Title: Pretty sure i have water in the gas tanks
Post by: Tikotiko on June 15, 2020, 07:12:06 PM: I thought i noticed water when adjusting the float but it was hard to tell. While taking the carb off today i noticed drops of water in the manifold so i thought maybe condensation. So i found a clean clear container and let the pump line run into it and found this.

My guess is this. I emptied both tanks during the winter and used the fuel on my quads i never noticed anything wrong with the fuel. Then it rained. Sometimes water woulf puddle on the cover along the edges of the boat. After the rain i washed it. Im guessing the gaskets around the fill necks are bad and water got in before i put fuel in it.
