    Stuck water pump impeller

    You can use the 3 or the 6 blade impeller in that motor. Gear pros makes a reasonably priced set of gears for that motor.

    Battery sparking

    I would buy either a marine battery with threaded posts. Or buy the lead clamps that have the threaded posts and use those. How do you have those other cables terminated?

    Battery sparking

    What do the other set of large cables go to. You can't put a ring terminal on the clamp bolt like that. Since they don't sit flat you get a bad connection.

    That is a bad set up. How many motors do you have on this boat?

    Battery sparking

    Loose connections. Especially if you have wing nuts on the battery.

    Troubleshoot/confirm idle issue

    The early 4 strk carbed motors were notorious for carb problems. Most of it was because they were so lean at an idle.

    1983 140hp Suzuki or a 115hp 96 Johnson ocean runner

    The Suzuki is an excellent motor. Problem is Suzuki has not kept up with parts supply. No aftermarket support for them. The aftermarket is taking up a lot of slack for the OMC motors. Nothing for Suzukis that old. That Suzuki is as obsolete as my McCulloch 75 hp.

    All I know is that motor gets better gas mileage than my Geo Metro did.
