I think I got it
Well worked on this all day. Don was very helpful and patient on the phone with me. We did A LOT of diagnosing and tests. Fuel was getting to the carb but not apparently getting up into the cylinders. After a lot of back and forth I went out to get new plugs. I had the fuel hooked up a portable outboard tank straight to the fuel pump. I sprayed starting fluid in the spark arrestor and once it got going the engine ran GREAT. very strong. full range of acceleration. I think the main culprit was bad gas. I got a new fuel/water separator and fully drained the completely full fuel tank. I filled the new fuel/water separator with fresh fuel and will return tomorrow with fresh fuel for the main tank and god willing everything will work. Thanks for all the help!! I've learned a lot.
Is there anything I should add to the new fuel when I put it in the tank and in what quantity?
Thanks again guys.
