1979 Suzuki DT85 Won't Start after warm

[anlomas0]

I have a 79 DT85 outboard that starts and runs good. The problem comes when I try to restart the engine when I am done fishing, etc. I had the water pump replaced and had it tuned however it is still extrmely hard to start after it runs for awhile.

I've had more than one Suzuki motor of that vintage that had weak spark and would not like to restart when warm.

It was either new $$$ignition units$$$ or narrow gap the plugs.

Narrow gapped the plugs and never looked back.
