Problem with my 77 50 hp suzuki


Question

Posted

Ok here is the problem.

The other night I was out on the lake. I stopped and started the motor about 3-4 times no problems then on the next time it would not start. The next day I put in new plugs and it started just fine.

Now last night I was on the lake driving anound and the motor just stopped. I pulled the plugs and they looked wet, so I am guessing that the motor if flooding out. I put the old plugs back in and I got it started and went home.

Is their any adjustments on these carbs that I can try?

Motor history: There is a newer electric system on the motor.

I have replaced the gas lines, tank and added a filter a couple of years ago.

This motor has sat a couple of years without being started so could old gas/oil be the problem?

edited to add: that I am useing new gas but when last ran it was not foamed ect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rick

Not sure if this the same problem as you are having but mine was similar. Would start cold no problem, would start fine if I started it again within 20 minutes or so, but after that it would be a real PITA to get it to start. Sound similar to what you have going?

What I finally wound up doing is rebuilding the carbs. It would seem that the needle and seat was not sealing the bowl and the gas was seeping down into the cylinders and flooding it out. After the rebuild it works fine. I did my own so it only cost me about $75 for the kits and it was not that difficult to do.

It may be what you are experiencing. Then again it may not be.

You need your carbs rebuilt after sitting for such a long time, that will solve the problem.

      My son got paid back for a good deed he did several years ago. He found a couple of expensive items at a boat ramp and called me asking what he should do.   I told him to bring them home because I was afraid if someone else found them, they might keep them. It was winter and nobody was around. This was when Facebook wasn't really popular yet, I was on several sites like this. First thing we did was make a big sign and posted it at the boat launch, then I posted it on all the forums I was on. Long story short, we never found the owner, but we sure tried. I know to this day, if either one of us found something, we'd do our best to get it back to the rightful owner.

      Yes, for sure.     A few years back, and unbeknownst to me, a piece of trim came off my sled while traveling over the lake.  A fellow sledder and complete stranger found the piece and followed my tracks all the way back to my cabin to return the lost item.  Couldn't thank him enough.  His kindness will never be forgotten and is something to which I aspire.

      We got the auger back! The person who found it didn't want me to mention his name, we can't thank him enough! Still good, honest people around. He called Spring Bay Resort and asked if they heard of anyone losing an auger and they sent him a screenshot of my post. So, thanks to Dayis and Steve at Spring Bay Resort for that! Thanks again everyone for getting the auger back to us!

      Who’s been out? I got hit with the flu and am still recovering. 
    • CigarGuy
      That's what they're going to do. I always read these posts and wondered how people could lose or forget stuff, well it happens!

      Dang….  I know it’s your son, so kinda different, but I’d be expecting a replacement from those who lost it.  The group could each put in and wouldn’t hit one or another too bad.   But that’s just an old man’s thoughts….💭    Good luck.

      So my son and buddies were out this morning fishing between Wakemup and H.O.L. Bays (probably between Metza's pt and Schmidt Island), so they had to cross the snowmobile trail to The Landing. Well,  MY Strikemaster 24 volt auger fell off the back of my sled.  They didn't realize it until they got back. If anyone found it, would be nice to get back...please and thank you. Good news is they had the battery in their pocket..... Dip $hits😡
