I've got my boat back at the house. DHP said they didn't think anything was wrong with it. They ran it in the water and said it felt fine, but they didn't gps it. I took it to a buddy that has a neighbor that works on them on the side. The neighbor's been working lots of overtime so he just got to look at it. He misunderstood what we were wanting checked, so he passed an eye on my setup and not the motor. I picked it up yesterday. I was checking some stuff today and decided to make sure all the cylinders were firing. Pulled the top plug wire and the motor died. Did the same thing with the bottom and nothing changed sound or rpm wise. Didn't even stumble. I didn't pull the middle one because my channel locks were shocking me, but I suspect that would kill the motor. I'm going to borrow a compression gauge and check the compression and go from there.

Did you get your manual in? The motor does not idle on all three cylinders. The third cylinder comes in when your RPM's reach a factory set mark. You can actually hear and fell the third cylinder come in when taking off slowly.

Yes I got it. Lots of good info in there. Older Suzuki's like mine idle on all three. I believe the bottom carb doesn't have an idle circuit on the newer motors like yours. I know I've got spark at the cylinder and fuel, now to figure out why no bang.

An I/E guy gettin shocked with channel locks...priceless Thats how they roll on B-Shift:work::D

I couldn't find my electrical tape to wrap the handles in so I did it anyway. Besides if you never get shocked you don't know what your missing.

scott craft 04-10-2011 09:50 AM

Sure I do and the blue isn't enough insulation.

It's enuff if there are no nicks or cuts in it.

In my case you'd have to talk to Wal-Mart about those channellocks.

It's looking like I've got a bad block. The compression is adequate, but not where it should be for a motor that was rebuilt recently. I think moisture is getting in the bottom cylinder. Looks like it's time for another motor.

Who is Kent? I'm a little on the leary side of using mechanics since the last two I took this motor to didn't do anything for it.
