Water in Fuel?

[FreeBeeTony]

Splashed the Grady this morning.
Ran at home at least 4 times during the past 2 weeks on the hose.
When I planed off today seemed to be running rough.
Let it warm up before I throttled up, the brought it to ~3900RPM seemed great, then opened it up.
Wouldn't go past 4000RPM then backfired through carb.
Idled to the slip, gonna change the filter/separator and see if that fixes the problem.
What about dry gas??

Ayuh,.... That's a good start, but check the contents of the one ya take off,....

If yer runnin' ethanol, ya might have a problem because of it,.....

'n addin' more alcohol probably won't fix it,.....

OK..........I'll skip the dry gas.

Just thought of something else.......started the engine while it was still on the trailer at a steep angle. Probably sucked up any water when it "fell" to the bottom of the tank........

Replaced the filter and found another problem.
The wire going to the ckt breaker broke........almost got towed in.
Now need to replace the ckt breaker.........

Ayuh,... It's always something,.....

Splashed my barge today, 'n up trim didn't wanta work,....

Putzed with the wirin' on the solenoids, 'n it's back to workin',....

I'm hoping this was the backfire I thought I heard.
Do you know what the P/N is for the 50A breaker?
