Caleb, thanks for the directions on starting a new thread, I think I finally got it. I have T30, hull 127 circa 1972 and sail out of SF bay, lots and lots of wind. I just put in the new RJ12C from Moyer, engine runs very well just noticed more black soot on the electrodes than I recall seeing when I last changed the plugs in 2008. I think I will try to lean out the mixture to see if that cures the problem before I spring for the new plugs. I remember when plugs were $1 each, not any more.
My water pump just sprung a leak at one of the seals, water drips out of the weep slot. When I changed the impeller and saw just a little scoring of the shaft and was going to get a new shaft and seals but Ken suggested that the water pump which was 39 years old may be worn out as well. After 39 years, that pump doesn't owe anyone anything, so $250 later this week, I hope to get that fixed.
