Re: Suzuki DT140 not peeing
Need some detail here:
Are you running it on muffs? My 98 140 does not like muffs. Very hard to get them to work even with the expensive ones with a hose to each side.
Are you running it in a barrel/bucket/etc? You must have the water level several inches over the cavitation plate or it will not work.
Other things to consider:
Have you looked at the thermostat? If there is corrosion in and around the thermostat there is a good chance the passages have some or a lot of corrosion. We don't know if this engine is used in salt water and if it has been flushed after every trip.
Any chance that a bug could have blocked your tell tale tube. Here in SC dirt dobbers and many other critters can and will get into a tube.
Any chance there are debris inside the engine like mudd, shells, chunks of an old descentigrated impeller that someone else neglected if you are not the original owner?
Check the lower unit:
You say the LU is "new" or is it just new to you? Check dloves threads on the overheat problems that he is having. If the exhaust rubber is bad on your LU it may never pick up water.
You can drop the LU, clamp a hose on the water pick up tube and make water come out of the tell tale. Don't turn it up too much or the pressure could blow your head gasket speeking of... any chance the head gasket is bad?
Chance are, if everything worked well before your LU chaged the LU then it is related to the change or something clogged the tell tale.
Keep looking...
