suzuki dt140 no spark

[flavadave2]

I am new to this site and to suzuki outboards. About 4 months ago I bought a 25 ft deck boat with a 1987 Suzuki Dt140 on it. <br />Then 2 months ago I rebuilt the carbs, changed out water pump, head gasket, had the heads resurfaced, and replaced the temp sender. <br />All was well and ran excellently. It has sat for about 2 more months with out use with fresh gas, and went to take it out on the river and found I have no spark on any cylinder, fuel flow is fine, engine cranks fine. <br />I have read a little about the oil pressure sender, but have no idea where it is or how it works. I currently have about 4 1/2" of oil in the oil tank. <br />Does the sender sense my gravity fed preesure out of the tank (oil depth)? How and where do I disable this to check it? Does this sound like my problem or is it the freakin $730 module? <br />I havent got my manual in the mail yet from browns point so any help is greatly appreciated.<br />I have learned alot from this forum and also very much appreciate all the input on it.

Re: suzuki dt140 no spark

you are going to need the manual to check the electronics on motor but you do have the kill switch hooked up

Re: suzuki dt140 no spark

The kill switch is built into the start key switch on the bottom of the shifter, so it was deffinatly in place and plugged in, I will bypass it though when I get a chance to guarentee it. Any other suggestions or things to check? Thanks for the quick response.
