suzuki dt65cl running out of fuel.

[martijn99]

On my zodiac pro470 a DT65cl is installed. After changing several parts including the CDI-unit, i'm experiencing problems while running at low rpm.<br /><br />After running at low RPM for some time, it is impossible to increase RPM without stalling the engine. It seems that the engine is getting not enough fuel, i have to pump some petrol in it with the installed pump in the fuel line. (original)<br />When i pressed the pump a few times, I have to "step on it" to give the engine enough petrol.<br /><br />I installed new tanks, fuel lines, fuel filter etc.<br />Could it be the fuelpump or sparkplugs, or what seems to be the problem?<br /><br />Model 92, type DT65CL, powertrim, el. start.<br /><br />Greetings<br /><br />Martijn (The Netherlands)

I had a DT55 which had the same type of problem you describe. Pick up a new fuel pump diaphram and try that. It's a fairly easy and inexpensive part to replace. After many years of use they can develop small leaks. Hope this helps. It did for me.

These fuel connections are they big enough? There is some after market connections that has too small inner diameter but fits to the original equimpment. Less expensive (2-3$ versus 20$) but does not work for a DT65.<br />Just a thought.<br /><br />/Bear

...but ignore that if you can go at WOT for more than 10 minutes.<br />A new fuel pump diaphram is a good idea.<br /><br />/Bear
