Thanks for replying...I suspect the ever-more-difficult starting may be what you describe with respect to the injectors...but before I can fix those I have to figure out where the water is coming from. I have actually been closing the seacock before shutting down the engine to try and avoid having water retained in the manifold...but where's it coming from? The hose that connects between the exhaust manifold and the mixing elbow is routed in a high curve to theoretically preclude syphoning...so far I'm not getting water in the engine oil, but that'll be the next thing if my rings seize up.... Is a puzzlement.
