[edit: THE FUEL PUMP JUMPER PUSHES BOTH PUMPS!!!]
--------------------

Last week I had a mild sputter. Next day it was worse. No SES. Then I remembered water in the filler neck. Gas cap had been tight, and it hisses when removed, so I thought, 'good seal', water didn't get in, even after it filled AGAIN the day after I pulled the Junebug

Sunday hard start, then NO START.

FP test yesterday.

Paper towel for spill:



Tape the release valve on the FP gauge, and jump the pump test terminal til fuel comes through clear.



Result:



I put in a Heet Water Remover in the tank.

Then sprayed starting fluid into the TB, and it fired, but only for a moment.

Hopefully today the water is in solution...

Ideas?
Use your fuel pumps and drain the tank. Use the gas for your lawnmower.

Do they mix petro with lemonade in your area.
