The Carburetor Anxiety Cure: A Real-World 3-Year Endurance Audit of the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus

You ask yourself: Did the ethanol in the fuel gum up the jets this week? Is the carburetor flooded? Am I going to spend my morning cleaning a spark plug instead of enjoying the water?

But when the epropulsion spirit 1.0 plus hit the marine market, it promised to eliminate that anxiety entirely. Moving away from internal combustion isn't just about reducing emissions.
