Hallelujah,
It's up and running!!! Traced the last couple of problems to a bad fuel pressure gauge and a very small piece of rubber that had somehow worked it's way into one of the jets in the carb.
Many thanks to Jeff Haylett with the rebuilding, tuning, and trouble shooting of the motor. We had it out yesterday doing a little more tweaking. Still need to try a couple different props for the best performance, but it is running GREAT!
Really looking forward to New Years Day Run.

Make sure you hunt me down and say hello. I know what you mean by looong winters. I am from Canada, but am fortunate enough to now spend a good part of my winters in South West Florida. Best boating in the world.......... at least when it's snowing in Canada or Sweden.
