Hey All,
While pulling a tube my '88 Suzy Q DT150ss sounded like it revved high. I immediately cut the throttle. We ended up getting towed in because in gear I could only go about 1 mile an hour. It sounds like it shifts, forward to reverse and neutral, but all it really does is swirl water.
First thought was a spun prop but sitting in the driveway, in gear, I can spin the prop both directions with no noise or resistance. Before I tear into everything and maybe make things worse, does any one have an idea what might have broke and where I should look first?
I do have the Suzuki factory manual but that doesn't mean I really want to tear the engine down, or really give me a place to look first. If it's in the lower end, I'll probably fix it, if it's in the upper, I'll have to take it in.
Thanks for your time.
Dennis
