It's a model F2.5MSH. Earlier this season, the engine was hard-to-start
and would not stay running unless choked. Shortly there after it would
not start, period. I opened the carburetor drain screw and drained it
tank and all. There were a lot of drops of water in the drainage.
I filled the tank with fresh fuel and everything was fine.
So, I figured that was the end of it.
NO! This week it happened, again. I dumped the whole fuel tank and
found about a quarter-cup of water in the bottom of the drainage.
The engine is used by a bunch of different people....but, in general
everyone is good about closing the tank vent. Where is this water
coming from??? Has anyone else had this problem?? This engine
does NOT have a fuel/water separator!!
