Hey all,
Well I just bought a new (used) boat, with a 1986 Suzuki DT115 (115HP) with Oil injection...
Compression tested it, and then sea trialed it and it ran great... for about an hour...
On the way back in, it just started dying down (loosing power), and came off plane... Tried to give it throttle and nothing...
Brought it down to idle and it would idle fine... give it full throttle same thing.
While at idle, I could hear a random clicking noise coming from under the cowl... but since I was the only one on the boat, I couldnt go back to see what it was...
It was acting like it lost a cylinder... (Coil?). I know nothing about these motors... always been an evinrude guy...
I brought it back and started it on the muffs, and again it would idle, but about every 30 seconds it would cough really badly, then idle smooth again...
idle idle idle idle, BLEH, idle idle idle, idle, BLEH, idle idle and so on... (best way I can describe it sorry)
Any suggestions on where to start?
