Liked your vid. mine was doing that end of the '16 season (less water though) out of #2 and just a light mist out of #1. I had a set of the OMC batwings...Leave a comment:

Ps I was wondering, since you also have an OMC Cobra are you using an electronic distributor in place of the old points system and if so how did it work... -
