A new spark plug and draining the carburetor worked.
Karen enjoying a day on the water.
My outboard started okay but died out and wouldn’t restart before my wife and I go the boat off the lift. I tried and tried to restart it but was unsuccessful. I drained the carburetor, added some fuel stabilizer, and replaced the spark plug and it seems to work okay now. Took a couple of hours but Karen and I got on the water at noon for a nice 2-hour sail. I’m very proud of Karen as she seems to be enjoying going out and doesn’t freak out when the unexpected gusts of wind hit us.
