Finally the barge is fixed - at least that is what the mechanic tells us. After a new ignition coil, a carburetor rebuild and new fuel filters, I hope the engine is again reliable. The carb and coil should correct the idle issues caused by the carb flooding and weak spark. A new battery will complete the fix, but we have one strong battery and one that can power bilge pumps and radio, but that's all. Replacing that one and adding a solar charger/maintainer and power will be a non-issue!
Sea trials tomorrow or Thursday! Boat US towing service is on standby, just in case!
