    Mine seems to drink more then a Irishman,

    I have has some fuel and electric related problems this year

    Typical error was bogging down ,from idle into accelaration,

    On WOT ,tapping back to Idle and re accelarate ,she boggs down as if she has No power
    Burns plugs,
    Hates trolling,

    any help will be so appreated

    Conversion is possible but not easy and you will need a lot of parts. Will not increase mileage by much, if any. Usually not recommended mended unless you have a fully dressed donor motor/powerhead.
