1989 Suzuki dt140...<br /><br />My choke solenoid sometimes works or pulls the choke linkage fine and other times doesn't. When it doesn't work you can see it move a little, but it doesn't have enough power to pull it in all the way. I found one post where someone said if the solenoid has any...
I disabled my water flow sensor because it went bad on me 4 times in 2 years. I refuse to keep buying the same part just so it can go bad in a month. I want to install a temp guage so I can monitor the engine's cooling that way. The motor didn't come with a temp guage, only the water flow...
I want to winterize my 1989 Suzuki dt140 today. I don't know what brand or kind of gearlube is in the lower unit. Will it hurt anything if I drain the old stuff and put a different kind in?
1989 Suzuki DT140<br /><br />I have a misfire at about 1500 rpms. Runs great at any other rpm range. What should I check to fix the misfire? What are the most common causes of a misfire at only a certain rpm range? Will running the engine with the misfire hurt it at all? I try to not run at that...
The pilot water hole used to "pee" with great pressure. Now it is very week. The water pump and water flow sensor were just replaced and still have same problem. Also, the lower half of the powerhead is cool to the touch but the upper half is hot. I can hold my hand on the upper half for about 5...
I see so many threads asking how to disable oil injection because they are afraid of failure. Instead of going through all the trouble of disabling it, why can't you just add premix fuel in the oil tank as you would the gas tank? Can this be done or is there something that I'm overlooking?
Can a fixed mount GPS with a built in antenna be used when mounted under the windshield? Does glass block gps signal? How about a canvas top?<br /><br />I'm looking at a used Garmin 126 to replace my Garmin 120. The antenna for my old unit quit on me and I can pick up the 126 for the same price...
I drained one of my batteries completely the other day and currently have it on a charger. I have an old Sears charger that says automatic 2 or 10 amp at 12v. I've had it charging at 2 amps for 24hrs and I'm not sure if it's fully charged or not. <br /><br />The charger has a gauge that I don't...
Last time I used my boat, about a week ago, my GPS quit working on the way in. It just all of a sudden lost the signal. Today I turned it on out in the driveway and it won't track one satalite. I checked the antenna and wiring and all looks fine. Do you guys ever have a problem getting a signal...

I have a 1984 21ft Chris Craft Scorpion with an outboard. I just bought the boat this spring and the transom was redone just before I bought it. The deck is what I beleive is called a self bailing deck. There are 2 drain holes that go through the transom with a flap on the outside so water...

I've been having problems with no spark on my Suzuki outboard. The other day I charged my batteries on a long trickle charge and it then fired right up. So, I went out on the lake and it ran great. My voltage meter showed it was charging good(both batteries). I got to my fishing spot and shut it...
