Magic fire making stuff.
So we sailed yesterday. It was a good start as we zipped around lake Kalamazoo. Myles fished of the stern and I managed the sailing. We where having a great day then the wind dropped off. After 20 minutes or so of drifting between wind shadows I decided it was time to give it up and head back in for some cool refreshments. While we where puttering up the channel my dependable little 4 hp Merc cut out. I was able to get the motor to restart and a 100 yards later it puttered out again. I pulled the cover off this time gave it a look and checked to make sure the spark plug wire had not fallen off. Then I looked at the tank. The transparent tank appeared empty of green fuel. I popped the cap off the tank and peered down in. There was just a dribble of fluid in the tank. As the boat went up and down on the waves I could see it slosh back and forth leaving the white plastic bottom of the tank clearly visible. Placing the cap back on I choked the motor no fire this time.
