My twin engine Chris Craft has been stored for 2 years. I used stabil but this past weekend I got the boat out and one engine would only run at at 1000 rpm. The other only 2000. After running them for 20 minutes I got both to 2300 rpm but I was uncomfortable with the kids on board so I came back...
