Yea, my guess it's the same as it's always been for the last few years. Tom at MTC serviced it last and they rebuilt the carb and it ran flawless all season until a few weeks ago. I bet there is some gunk or something glogging the fuel line. That is the tricky thing about today's fuel and these low hp 4 strokes. They get pretty finicky. Otherwise that thing pushes my fat a$$ and another dude on plain no problem. Ask Slingah and Professor, they both have had extensive Dux bay tours on this skiff. I can go on a tank of gas all month and that's a big plus.
