25hp suzuki 3cyl help
 
Guys i have a 25 suzuki 3cyl that i need help with. I changed the plugs, adjusted the idle on it, changed the seperator filter and it's just real sluggish. When you give it the gas it just boggs down and don't run as fast as it should. I think it needs a carb job, but i'm not sure. Any help on this would be appreciated, and if anyone does it on the side i would really like to to give my money to someone on this site, before i bring it to a shop. I'm located in lake charles and i'm willing to drive. I'm scratching my head on this.

Thanks, dgg

Carbs!!!! I had issues with one I had. Those motors love to run but cant stand to sit to any period of time.

get you a can of powertune. its made by merc. take your drain plugs off the bottom of the carb and let the fuel out. squirt the powertune in there with the lil straw that comes with it untill it comes out the top of the carb. do that to each carb and let sit for about 10 mins then do it again. put drain plugs back in and start it back up. this is a easy way to try and clean them before taking it to someone. also start using seafoam in your fuel. keeps the fuel dry and your carbs clean.

Where can you get powertune at ?

Merc dealers should have power tune

I wouldn't recommend taking it to Lake Area Marine. I've got a manual for that motor you could borrow if you wanted to try to clean those carbs yourself.

x2 anyone who handles merc should have it or have access to it. its around 8 bucks a can and is magical.

Its probably one of your jets clogged, i'd take it apart, let it soak in some b12 chem dip put it back together, get some new gas, mix with oil add a little sea foam to your tank and take it for a spin!

I can give you a guys number that does this stuff and does hop up, if you still lookin

I have had small 3 cylinder suzuki motors for a long time.If they sit up for any period of time the carbs get varnished up.I have taken down soaked and re-installed them ten times or so.It is pretty easy,just pay attention when you take them apart.

Ray Pierson is the man on the 3 cyl Suzuki's, I heard he was doing some work at Bow Tie Marine. He has rebuilt mine 2 times and hopped it up also.

Got any contact info for this guy? What kind of speed are you getting? Once I get mine running right I'd like to get it hopped up.
