NOTES

BOATS

It's no exaggeration to STATE
that 90 per cent Of all motor
troubles can be traced directly
to the fuel system. Take 9
brand-new cupboard motor. fol
example. There it is, all slich
and shiny. never used and il
cost a pretty penny. So. why
shouldn't it start right of the
bat the minute you crank the
starter? The manufactures
guarantees 1t to be factory
tested. tuned and ready for i'm
mediate use. Yet the blankety-
blank thing. after a minute OF
running Of at alb gives a
couple Of coughs and conks out.
"Factory-tested" means the
motor was thoroughly checked
for all possible defects before
leaving the assembly line. Good
enough, so far. but at what
temperature and altitude in re-
lation to sea-level was the car
buretor adjusted? That motor
may have travelled several hun
dred. If not thousands of miles
before 1t reached your hands.
1t may have gained altitude or
lost it. Moisture may have
condensed in the tank, cylin-
ders or carburetor.
+
So we come to step No. /.
Place the motor in warm, dry
and well-ventilated room; open
the gas tank cap and the car
buretor supply valve. Now
crank it over a few times, gent
ly. If any fuel or moisture is
present it will show up in the
filter bowl under the carburetor.
After about 5 minutes remove
the bowl and run your finger
around the inside for traces of
grit or dust. Remove the filter
screen just above it and check
for dirt. Assuming that all is
well. replace the screen and
bowl and close the supply valve.
Now you're ready to start her
up.
This is the crucial part of the
entire, operation - start with
clean gas Make sure the can
you use for mixing the oil and
gas is thoroughly free of all
sediment, dirt or moisture.
Then fill it with clean, fresh
marine gas from a reliabla
pump.
Now you're ready to fuel up.
Fill the motor tank and before
cranking the motor take an
other look at the bowl. II the
glass and screen are still clean,
you are. ready to get started.
If not. the dirt or particles COL
lected there are likely to be
from dust held in the fuel lines
during the assembly process.
Small amounts are not serious,
but it will pay to clean the
screen a couple of times in the
beginning.
Finally. IL the motor should
run too heavily, or too lean.
remember the carburetor may
need adjusting to the difference
in altitude. OF course, don't
forget that a new motor will
be a bit stiff for the first couple
of hours. Break it in gently.
and from there on it should
ourr like a kitten.

black will. 1t was on a black
will that I had hooked my
tarpon two weeks before.
The hours wore on and again
big sea turtles nois.ly emerged
to amuse us. but in all the
hours the tide was ebbing, only
six tarpon could / count. There
were small geysers here and
there as they rolled on the sur
face and once an emerald back
arched not far from my bait.
But at no time was there the
great number of fish that had
massed in the channel on our
last visit.
In fact, I sighted the most
tarpon. Others only counted
two or three. None of us got
a strike and finally called it
quits.
III seems l was a week late.
The Saturday before nearly the
same group of anglers had a
half-dozen strikes and boated
two tarpon. Rogers took the
first one, an 87-pounder, on a
live hardhead. The fish headed
first for shoal water and then
fouled the line on the motor of
a nearby boat.
The line was freed after an
agonizing couple Of minutes
and the fish then headed for
two other boats, which quickly
hauled anchor. Rogers finally
boated his fish in 20 minutes.
Six Others Lost
Long after the ebb tide had
turned. Harold Burton of Har-
borton, Va, hooked an 30
pound tarpon on light tackle.
The fish took a dead mullet.

Six other tarpon took live

including one each by Al Phil

broken leaders.
After Burton's tarpon was
ooated, large numbers of fish
were sighted moving against the
tide toward the open ocean.

practice. The following day
very few tarpon were sighted
Whether a light northeaster
which blew up was responsible
or whether it was time for the
fish to head south cannot be
determined, but their departure
was confirmed by our trip a
week later.
Next season the Wacha-
preague Hotel expects to have
more guides available. There
also will be guides out of nearby

the Ash are gone, probably
swimming south toward Cape
Hatteras, of which they school
in late September. Eventually
they will reach tropical waters
Thus the score in two weeks
of fishing was left at -four
boated and at least a dozen
hooked and lost. A total OF six
fish now have been caught in
Virginia tarpon history.
The tarpon left behind dis
appointed group of deyoteeS
who had hoped that the fishing
might last another week or
two. Already ambitious plans
are being made for next year
when the Silver Kings return
in late June. These include the
use of an airplane to spot the
concentrations.

to catch a tarpon on rod and

Tide Inst Ri9ht
Quickly we reviewed our
plans. There would be four out
board boats. each with two
men. The tide would be just
right in the morning with the
high at $50 when we could
catch bait fish and the low
about $3.50 pm. Forty five min
utes after the ebb tide turned.
there would be enough water
to cross the flats on the return
trip.
Since Claude and I were to
borrow one Of the game war
dens' boats at oyster, we drove
down early next day. The
others launched their boats
at Willis Wharf, much closer
to Wachapreague and also Gull
Marsh channel. where the tar
pom had been concentrated.
Though the water was slight
ly murky from the hurricane
that had skirted the coast, the
day was bright and warm as

A week earlier, hardhead UP
to 2 pounds had been caught in
the channels and we stopped to
try to catch some as live bait.
Whether the recent storm was
responsible or not, the hard
head had departed and we had
to content ourselves with four
black wills (small sea bass) and
one perch. These we kept alive
in a lard tub.
AS we moved on out to Gull
channel, several miles
from the mainland, a fog rolled
in in patches and we lost our
way. Claude corrected our
course quickly, however, and we
found the three other outboards
awaiting us.
Claude put the fat perch on
a go hook and drifted it into
