Well,

I officially heard from my Marina mechanic today regarding my fuel problem.

Sever ethanol seperation. This ethanol spiked fuel seperated, drew some moisture into the fuel tank, and really got the inside of my fuel tank nice an clean.
Anyway, after draing out the fuel, they were to clean out the carbs and get rid of the gunky mess. They recommended i run some brand new fuel in small amounts in the tank with some fuel additive and keep cleaning out the water seperator. after a few gallons, they said any resdual "gunk" should be ironed out.

I was honestly thinking it was going to be wayy worse, with a bad fuel tank.

BTW, all my fuel lines did check out ok.
