UPDATE. I was a little wrong with what I thought I did. I didn't use an external tank until this morning. I found the problem. Something was clogging the fuel pick-up in the tank. The anti-syphon seemed fine, but I pulled out the tube from the tank ( something fell off and stayed in the tank). Maybe it was some sort of filter/screen, that was clogged. Got a new fuel pickup at Fay's, cleaned anti-syphon and worked perfect all day. On a sad not, my little 89' larson 170 is too small for this lake

. It gets a little hairy out there with 8 people. I get tossed around pretty good. Looks like I'll need to upgrade next year before the family vacation. On another note ( and I'll post on another forum), but looking to head out to Weirs for a while. Where would I dock the boat for a few hours? do I have to call ahead? Is there a fee? Thanks again for all the advice
