Seafoam & stalling...

Checking the wiring where the pickups exit the case would not be a bad idea.

So...

what's the issue?

I haven't tried to start anything yet this spring.

I'll let you know if we've been duped.

I'm thinking it's a conspiracy.

Hey Nate, BoatUS has a long thread on Starbrite Startron.  They pretty much trashed it as expensive naphta with snake oil.  I'm back now to three, I mean 4 fuel products:

Stabil forms a film on the fuel surface that retards oxidation.  Good for the tank of a '59 Alfa, but will generally not help your float bowl.
Seafoam mixes with your fuel and will help your float bowl.
Techron is good for your carb/FI internals but will not stabilize fuel.
Gumout Carb Cleaner.  For when everything else fails.

Bazinga!

Suggestions on what I should be looking for 'down-yonder'? There's no cuts in the wrapping, so I don't see any shorting problems from eyeballing.

Like I said I just tried it last fall...

I don't care what Boats US says...

'cuz they puff whoever pays.

I'll let you know how it worked for me.

That is going to have to wait until I've eliminated the external things. Not ready to drain fresh oil and regasket that side. Besides, when I do that, I'll make it an opportunity to try out the Factory Pro "Pro Shift Kit" too.

Nate, you are right about BoaUS.  They have refused to test Startron.  They want those advertising dollars. 

It's been trashed by users in their forum.   http://my.boatus.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63758&PN=1

"Ingredients:

<.5% Proprietary Organic Compounds

>95% Solvent Naptha (Petroleum), Heavy Aliphatic

translated- 99.6% Naptha and .4% organic compounds."

Their bottom line is that you can buy naphta cheaper and save yourself some dollars.   Seafoam is, I believe, naphta, stoddard solvent (ingredient in WD-40), and isopropyl alcohol.

As always...

time will tell.

I had a ton of issues with my mower last spring.

If the startron works I'll pay the price for the <.5% proprietary stuff.

Just FYI - I had similar problems when I added too much seafoam for the amount of fuel I had left in the tank. Seafoam is more dense than gas so, if/when it settles, you're pretty much running purely on seafoam. My bike didn't like it; your mileage may vary.
