i recently got a tachometer to gauge my work-in-progress 1994 Suzuki DT40. ive been recently trying to get the motor running good and all, but i cant seem to get anywhere near the recommended WOT rpm (5,000-6,000). i barely get 1000 rpm out of it at the wide open position. the motor was rebuilt 6 years ago and left to sit; now im trying to use it again.
boat: 16' Cobia center console
motor: 1994 Suzuki DT40
compression test: 100 top cyl, 120 bottom
recently replaced fuel pump
changed lower unit oil
15p prop (13p factory)
spark plugs look good
fresh gas/clean filters
what could be limiting my rpms? thanks a lot, because im getting kind of frustrated with this motor.
