So on that note

First off I want to thank everyone that actually gave me advice. It was just bad fuel like I thought. I've never seen anything like it. The Fuel in the Honda tank looked like dark orange tinted beer and even the tank in my skiff had a weird yellow orange color to it even though I figure the Stockton fuel couldn't make up more then a 1/3 of the tank.

The Honda has a a clogged carb so I'm going to have to disassemble it. I changed out the fuel filter on the Suzuki and cleaned the plugs and it fired right up on clean fuel. The plugs weren't really fouled but the did have a weird orange tint to them almost like the had been lightly sprayed with fluorescent orange spray.

Weird weird weird!!!! I've worked on vehicles and fuel systems my whole life and I have never seen anything even remotely like this.

To the guys that are having good natured fun in the thread: You guys are the best. I love this site and these boards and the positive fun spirit you bring to this site makes it one of the best on the web.
