There was a great thread where Championman walked someone thru almost every step of diagnosing a poor idle stalling condition on a 60° motor, many posts, ended up torn hose behind VRO. Great...
I've got a low speed miss/shake, at no wake speed, about 950-1200 rpm. Just about where the butterflies start to open. 1350-1400 it smoothes out. Will the mixture screws affect operation at this...
New to me engine, never lake tested. I've cleaned the carbs and changed the fuel filter, new plugs, fresh fuel.
When idling in a barrel the rpms are low about 575-600 unless I advance timing a...
J90 PLRSS
Looking at installing a rebuilt block, and have read that it is wise to increase the main jets. It seems they supply the same block for both 90 and 115. The one I am purchasing is .020...
Its not the intake, but the crankcase to cylinder block joint, that's leaking.
Port, starts just under #2.
Pulling #4 plug wire or stopping airflow to # 4 carb didn't affect idle.
I guess that red sealant means some was in there already.
When I removed reed assemblies, I noticed a leak where the front half attaches to the block.
While turning the crank with a socket you can see bubbles right where the new red sealant stops.
I...
Not yet, I will have one by the weekend.
Thanks, linkage doesn't look bad, but I still can't get it to idle. Fine on Quick Start, then it just seems to slow to a stop. Even if throttle opened. Bowls are full of fuel when this happens....
I may be making some progress, I disconnected the oil feed and ran premix from a portable tank, 100% improvement. I guess it was oil rich, not fuel rich, could explain why mixture adjustment didn't...
I'm thinking the floats are ok because the primer bulb gets solid after a few pumps.
I never did a sea trial on this boat, not sure about the previous mechanic competency, as the prop did not...
New to me engine, compression near 100 on all 4, plugs were light brown.
Carbs were leaking from bowls, black gaskets. Removed carbs, cleaned, then installed new bowls, new brown gaskets.
I...
J90PLSRR, trying to fit a 176214, 14 x 17 prop. Nylon 13 spline 0315810 is the part number that shows up in exploded diagrams, but it just doesn't seem to fit corrrectly. Can someone point me to the...
Problem fixed, # 3 float would not shut, debris inside. Don't ask me how it got past the filter. MartyD
Check out the carbs first. A needle may be sticking. If you have fire at all plugs, CDI is good.
If it's got resistor style plug caps do an resistance check on them
pull the carbs off,clean them,...
New coil came from boat parts.net , seems to be resistor wire, has double the resistance of the old ones, will this be ok to use? Thanks MartyD
Motor is new to me this season, idles nice on hose, starts easily, hot or cold, has fresh plugs. Hesitation when trying to get on plane. When at idle in gear, at 800 rpm in water, pulling ...
Is a 2001 Suzuki 115 4 stroke, a carb or fuel injected motor? Thanks MartyD
I'm downsizing this year and don't have much experience with smaller motors. I found a 1996 2 stroke 15 REDS Evinrude for my 11.
What temp should the head be idling on ear muffs? Teltale stream...
Look at ebay auction 190153704631, and make me an offer, it wasn't cheap ,but I have already shipped a 1998 175 Ocean Runner to Norway in pieces. MartyD http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Looking for input on this engine, low hours, on a nice boat. Personal OMC experience has not been good, and Ficht hearsay is scary. Looks like motor has devalued boat to nearly a hull only price. ...
Thanks for trying Rusty. The fuel restriction alarms stopped when I put a clean filter in. MartyD
If your asking if I think its fuel or spark, I don't know. It happens when I give it more throttle. the motor loses its smooth exhaust note, and hesitates before it picks up rpm. thanks .MartyD
I think its the motor , I tried a different prop for a while, renegade 17,and it didn't change. It happens mostly under a heavy load, like towing a tube or with a lot of people in the boat, The boat...
