Those small EPA approved carbs are about impossible to clean. I would suggest getting a new carb and if you don't use a ton of dinghy gas, buy ethanol free gas from somewhere. I fill a gas can with 100 octane from the airport for my lawnmower and have no issues at all with it :) Failing that,

Yes - that can be quite dangerous. My AC ground bus ties to the ship's ground bus, which ties to the engine, and thus the water. Not doing so can kill swimmers. Joe On 5/30/2020 9:56 AM, Neil Andersen via CnC-List wrote: Does that set up a different ground potential when connected to shore

Essentially yes, however when you are thinking of the boat's wiring, I would think of the ground bus as the centre, with the engine connected to it, rather than the reverse. Think of it a hub or a star - with the ground bus at the centre. (Google "star grounding") one of those paths has to

You do run a wire to the engine, usually 2 gauge, but only one. Many boats ends up using the engine block as a ground bus with wires hooked up all over it. Joe On 5/30/2020 8:01 AM, Brian Davis via CnC-List wrote: Thanks, Joe! I did get a galvanic isolatot, but forgot to say that. The Blue
