Just wanted to let everyone know about the problems I was having with the motor. As I told you, I took it up to Son Sac Marine up near Ruark Bluff and he, Bill, fixed the problems for me. As I said it was smoking severly on startup and at idle, I thought it was the VRO oil pump, but he checked that out, not the problem. The motor had somehow got out of synch, so he adjusted the synch back to where it should be, readjusted the carbs as I had to enrich them to get it to run, put a new water pump on and just checked the enginer over real well. On the way home, I stopped at the lake, put it in the water and cranked it, no blue smoke, the motor ran well, idled as it should, so I am well pleased with the work he did and the price he charged which was not out of line at all. Sure beat just out right buying a new VRO pump when that was not the problem.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bill, the mechanic up there and owner of the place, knows what he is doing, he might take a little long, but he does it well.

No, didn't fish any at all. I had taken all the rods out of the boat since it was not going to be locked up. But a real pretty day to do that, just didn't.
