hello I am new to the forum...I just bought a 87 susuki 115 and I have had nothing but trouble... I hope someone can help me!! it will idle and run okay on the muffs but won't run at all at the boat ramp...well it will idle rough but when I engage it into gear at the ramp it just dies every time. I thought it might be the oil injection so i deleted it and premixed 50:1 still had the same problems... the gas smelled old so I hooked up to a temporary tank and sprayed carb cleaner through the carbs and drained the bowls until I smelled good gas coming out of them. ran better but still dies upon engaing into gear at the ramp.checked compression all cylinders were good. also checked the spark on all cylinders seemed fine. I am about to pull the carbs off and give them a good cleaning, I was hoping for some advice before I do... I did notice a very small leak at the fuel filter could that effect it running that much?
