Chris- I do have a standard tank and good suggestion. I will fill it with clean gas and see what happens. I’m all about trying the easy things first!
Kevinrude- The boat is a 1962 Alumacraft FD-6. Motors are on 14.25" centers and the throttle control cable on the port motor had to be bent to avoid the corner handle, and the starboard motor barely clears its adjacent handle. Actually had to put a spacer (1") on top of the transom to gain the width I needed. Would have liked more width, but raising the transom any more would have compromised the wetted portion of the lower unit. I think the transom width before handle bump up was 35 3/4".
The attached was sent to me by Alumacraft customer service in response to my request to them for model # and year. They were very helpful.
