I agree with L&M. Because not all primer bulbs are made of the same quality. I find that specially in colder weather the primer bulbs get hard and not so good in pumping fuel over longer distances specially when they have to suck the fuel up to over the transom from a tank on the floor of the boat. I solved this problem by inserting two primer bulbs for the kicker. One about a foot past the water seperator on the bottom of the boat and the other on top of the transom where it is easily reached. Sometimes when the one on top of the transom does not get the fuel up I just lift up the doghouse and pump the other primer bulb. It always solves the fuel supply problem.

Made in the USA now, my next truck will be a Toyota! I was told we will soon see suburbans reaching $$ six figures in cost. So many stupid sensors that end up failing on theses vehicles. Belts and bulbs that lasted forever and were cheap to replace, now have integrated circuits and motherboards. Truck design engineers should all get fired at GM for crimes against the wallet. I actually have a sensor on my Yukon that alerts me that it id raining. Rant over.
That rain sensor comes in handy for the run of the mill late and drunk driving hick because it activates the wipers and helps remove puke from the window

Going through my drawers I came upon an owners manual and a service manual for a 1973 2hp "Mate 2hp model 2302". in good shape for a 49 year old manual. And an original parts manual for a 1959 35 horse Johnson
If anybody is interested, I'll let each go for $10 dollars a piece, you pay postage

After taking a close look at all my guides on my wire rods in good light and magnifying glasses, I was shocked at the deep grooves present. I have not lost any gear due to wire failure but it looked like it could easily could happen at any time. For most of the grooves in the guides I was able use a dremmel tool and a pointed stone attachment to smooth out most of the grooves but some of the inserts did not survive the deep cuts present and the vibration from the grinding. Looks like I am getting into rod repair.
Been there done that. I solved the problem by checking flea markets and ebay. There are always some old rods with good guides. You can also replace the whole setup with carboloid (carbide) guides as Gator suggests, those are way better than what you have got on that ugly stick.

Looks like badly burned fuel to me. But just to make sure, check your lower unit oil level and color. if it is milky or really low, you may have a problem there.
More likely though you need some carburetor fine tuning.

Way to go Brandon , great energy policy starting on day 1 . If it isn't broken why did you " fix " it . More gas per day was pumped through the Keystone than we import from the Russians per day. Gas will be 6 .00 a gallon on the water the way things are trending right now. FJB.
No gas was ever pumped through the keystone pipeline because it was never finished. Besides the keystone pipeline was planned in order to pump Canadian shale oil to the refineries in the southern states with the intention of exporting it.
If you want to point a finger at somebody you should point it at the oil companies who are as we speak exporting oil and gas to their clients abroad.
Besides, if you look just a bit farther than your interest in hobbies, you might discover that Russia's Putin is attacking a country where many Americans have roots and family.
So maybe we should swallow that hike in oil prices and see it as a way to support the war effort for freedom.

Unless you consider the loss of fishing access there it is a big deal.
Jimsky,
The windmills that you are fighting are a lot bigger than the ones that Don Quichotte fought.....
Sometime you just have to face the reality that there are not so many open water sport fisherman and our economic impact is miniscule. It sucks,but it is.

So I’m just daydreaming about lures and the kevorkian popped up in my head. Does anybody have a picture?
Not the doctor, but the lure.

I run my weighted steel on convectors as well. Make sure that you have line counter reels. That way you have more depth control.

If I were a landowner in that area I would absolutely refuse this offer.
It takes away all rights the landowner has to remove unwanted characters. It would be a better idea to allow a few select fishermen to come and fish possibly for a fee. That way the owner has a choice as to who can fish on his land and he will know who littered and he can charge a cleanup fee. I mean , if there is a big rich company on the salmon river that does that, so can you.

Off Rochester they stage in and around 200 feet north west of the river when the kings start moving into the river, usually mid September.

The country you think about is England.
There is some dukedom there that as a tribute has to supply the crown with 2 stones weight of lamprey as a tribute once a year. (A stone is the weight of a balistra stone-12 pounds).

There was a comment on slimers that accidentally was placed in a different thread. Here it is:

I read a piece one time that in another country don't remember which country it was but they make pies and cakes from them.

I'll be very happy to drive 100 miles to reconnect and see and greet all the good people of Elosta. I don't really have much that I want to sell or buy given the little fishing that I have been able to do.
The one thing I really enjoyed at the last "picnic" ( it was hamstrung by all the limitations that the pandemic caused) was the total lack of political back and forth and the pleasant atmosphere because of it. Where else in this world can you go to a public gathering and have a beer dispenser at your finger tips?
If my wife's health situation will allow me I will be there. If possible I will combine it with a great meal in the Eishaus restaurant to make it an even better day. See you guys there!!
I would love some info about possible raffles and potential prices or donations to different causes so I can be prepared.

Sorry guys, I left something out.
It is only the 19 strand torpedo wire that has the above mentioned sinking capability , the 7 strand has a rougher surface and will not sink at that rate.

Do you have to let all of the line out when running steel line like you do when running copper.
No you don't
Every hundred feet of weighted steel wire gets you 20 feet down, If you have a good line counter you can for instance go 50 feet out and be only 10 feet down.
Normally the weighted wire is sold in 200 and 300 feet lengths. It is true that the sinking rate of regular torpedo wire THAT IS LET OUT BEHIND WEIGHTED STEEL, has the same sinking rate as the weighted line. So if you want to fish 80 feet down you can let 200 weighted and 200 regular torpedo wire out and be at 80 feet down.
I much prefer the weighted steel wire because it does not create the nasty birds nests that copper does. It also catches more fish, because not having to mess around with the famous nasty copper birds nests allows you to have your line in the water instead of the back of the boat.

There is not a whole lot of room under that bridge make sure to keep your antenna and fishing rods down as you go underneath and stick to the west side of the channel after you have gone underneath. The east side always seems to fill up with sand.
