So, I drained the gas tank out and let it dry for several hours before adding new gas. And it really looked like the VRO was over oiling...and maybe I'm old fashioned but I wasn't feeling good about it, so I bypassed it and went to self mixing the oil, just wanted to know it's getting the proper oil mix since it's a pretty old motor! I took the boat out this morning for a short test run and at first I was nervous that it was still the same because it was acting like it didn't want to pull the boat off the trailer and even after I got it off the trailer it was acting really sluggish. I thought I would give it more time hoping it was just cold, and I was right (or it was still working out some water)....once it warmed up it took off like a rocket! I wouldn't say it's running perfect, but it ran pretty good when I was on plane! Just hoping it keeps running good!
Just remind yourself how much fun your having
