Personally, I now use the newer Pettit Black Widow which is a similar paint

Hi David,
It does sound like it's running lean on the high end. The solution is
likely to be related to a fuel flow problem like a clogged carburetor jet
or obstruction / air leak / weak point in the fuel delivery system such as
a clogged filter / fuel pickup / regulator / missing gasket / dried
ne! Best I can surmise the heavy
rains from Sunday / Monday night and bright sunshine during the day
bleached it from me. Go figure. All it needs now is a few touches of
bleach + The regular Woody's wax and we're good to go 'till October :-)
