It got wet but never left the trailer. Motors didn't want to stay running. Fuel pressure was everywhere , loaded up plugs were covered in fuel to the point you could dip the excess fuel off them into a bucket. Black on the plugs no throttle response either spiders until it cactus up or stalls. Some times feels as it's running out if fuel ect...

Thanks to the help of Gerry Knot Rite and George Old Man we should have a good 2nd shot at a splash. We shall see. Ince again huge thanks and block should be in the horizon. Just got done with the CC so my back up / tow boat is ready if needed. Gerry has a couple pics from today he may or may not post due to being a corn hole JIZZeppi......

Mike, Just a suggestion...drain a small amount out of both separators into a clear glass cup and let settle to see if any water content still exists before you go out. Then after your your run with the boat, do a plug check on each motor. If its a light gray to white...your good to go, if a darker charcoal but clean, you may
have to go from 13's to 24's only because of the 93 octane rather than racing fuel which you don"t need. You've got two sweet, husky sounding engines bud.
Hope all goes well...try to enjoy the ride...that is one heck of a nice looking boat! Glad I could help you and Gerry, I really had a nice time. Go APACHE!

P/S Don't forget that idler pulley.

I think Gerry might have sent me some pics of the peanut butter and jelly you had growing in the carbs, sounds like you're good to go now though. LMK if you need the pics Mike.

BTW, with those super charged engines, you do NOT want to see 'white' plugs... if you do, it won't be long before you're replacing pistons!
