It happens... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So on that note

First off I want to thank everyone that actually gave me advice. It was just bad fuel like I thought. I've never seen anything like it. The Fuel in the Honda tank looked like dark orange tinted beer and even the tank in my skiff had a weird yellow orange color to it even though I figure the Stockton fuel couldn't make up more then a 1/3 of the tank.

The Honda has a a clogged carb so I'm going to have to disassemble it. I changed out the fuel filter on the Suzuki and cleaned the plugs and it fired right up on clean fuel. The plugs weren't really fouled but the did have a weird orange tint to them almost like the had been lightly sprayed with fluorescent orange spray.

Weird weird weird!!!! I've worked on vehicles and fuel systems my whole life and I have never seen anything even remotely like this.

Perfect now all 3 problems are solved - we finally know where the bootleg DVDs, the 2lb spectra and the tainted gas came from...

got rid of the bad gas and carb clean and we are back in the fishing business

I'd like to hear more about this....

The event went great, the beer if not cold was still good, whiskey flowwed and the women were friendly, gorgeous, gregarious, forthcoming, and accommodating. It was unbelievably awesome in general.
