Hey Guys,
I have a 2-Stroke what i believe is a 25HP (DT25) 1979 Suzuki Outboard that im having some problem with. Im pretty inexperienced when it comes to outboard motors and im kinda lost on where to start. One issue is that the motor is rather difficult to get started, takes about 10 pulls. The main issue is that I can only get it to start idling if i give it a bit of gas RIGHT after I pull start it and continue to give it gas periodically or it will die. But once I switch it into gear it will start to try and pull for a second and then it dies. Ive been messing around with the idle pin but cant seem to get it just right I dont think. It lets out a good amount of white smoke when its running also. I know that it should be shooting out water from somewhere when its running but I haven't seen it do this, is this normally something I should be seeing when its idling?? I almost think its not getting enough gas when It goes into gear but in neutral it will go forever if I give it gas, just not in gear.
Anyone have any ideas on where I should start with this one? The motor looks very clean and seems to be in good shape from the outside. I got it about a year ago and it ran pretty decent for about 5 or 6 days out on the water, but after my boat restoration project it was sitting in the garage for a good amount of time. I haven't done anything with the oil or the spark plugs etc. Maybe it just needs a good tune up? Any ideas on were I can find out what types of basic things I should do to it as far as basic maintenance? Any help on the problem or a pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated. As a side note, im having some trouble identifying what that plug is in the front of my motor. It runs to the MAG and then to the spark plugs.
Ive attached a few pictures of the engine below. Thanks guys! :mrgreen:
