I voted two, but the one in the boat is current waiting for it's carb to come back from the cleaners. It will be running tomorrow - the carb is out on the table saw waiting for the paint to cure.
The engine in the basement is a spare - just in case the one in the boat develops a more serious issue than a dirty carb.
Early this season, I had a clogged main jet issue - would only run with the choke out. Cleared the jet by screwing in/out the adjustable needle (highly recommended)- back in business. Installed a new inline filter before the pump (Racor 120R-RAC-02, the 320 wouldn't fit) and a new B&S can between the pump and the carb. All was good until it clogged again - of course, I hadn't cleaned out the float bowl! Drained the float bowl and got quite a bit of crud, but brought it home for a good cleaning (and a paint job).
One of these days perhaps I'll get around to electronic ignition...
