Hi all,

I have a Campion 16' boat I purchased last month, it has an 85hp Suzuki outboard. The last couple times we've taken it out, the engine stalls when we go into forward or reverse. The only way I can get it to go is to raise the motor almost all the way out of the water, and then put it in forward. Once it gets going, I can then lower the motor and go full speed. However, once we slow down, it stalls out again.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Not mechanically inclined and don't want to get ripped off if I take it in :)

Re: Suzuki Stalling Issue

bowls are easy to remove, what is your idle speed?
