    '03 df115 shift problem

    Hi, I am experiencing some problems with shifting into reverse. I have already eliminated the controls, cables, cable adjustments, and engine shift linkage and shaft. The clutch dog never slips out of gear once it has engaged. The engine shifts smoothly when on the hose, but when in a test tank...

    Professional Suzuki Tech Please Help

    Hi, I picked up a non running 2003 DF115 serial # 11501F-422791. I have been looking it over to see what might be wrong with it. I did a compression test and am getting 225-230 psi on all cylinders and not hearing any noises to indicate anything internal gone wrong. I removed the ECU ( ECM ?)...

    1988 80hp 3 cyl VERY hard shifting

    Any info would be helpful. I have disconnected the cable at the engine and even removed the lower unit to find the bind up. It's almost impossible to shift and I think something may be going on in the gear case. When I do get it to whichever gear I want it runs along great, but it requires WAY...

    Suzuki DF115 4 stroke 2003

    I just picked up this non running motor and want to start going through it. I have zero experience with 4 stroke outboards. I'll start with the compression check I guess. Can anyone tell me what kind of numbers I should be looking for and if there is anything different I need to do than with a 2...

    Stuck Floats?

    Hi All, I have a 1988 3cyl 80hp Mercury that gave me some trouble last weekend. We took the boat out and it ran great during the 25 min trip to our destination. I tied it up at the mooring and left it for about six hours. When we went to leave, it started right up as usual, but stalled about...

    Johnson Controls for Mercury Outboard

    Hi All, I'm swapping over all my components to a new hull. I currently have a 1988 80hp Merc with binnacle controls on a center console. The new boat will need side mount controls so the current ones won't work. I've seen universal controls that work with all motors. I have 3 sets of J/E dual...

    Bad stator??? 1990 120

    My engine ran for a couple weeks and then developed another problem. It will start, but does not want to stay running for more than a minute or two. When I put it into gear it just bogs and stalls. I plan on borrowing a peak reading meter to check the stator and tb this week. Is it possible the...

    My looper is cursed...

    No matter what I do, or how much $ I spend, my looper just fails to run right. It was only one week ago I tank tested it and all was fine. I put in on Sat. and it runs like crap. Come to find out one of my less than a year old coils had a major crack in it. Will it ever end? Why can I fix...

    I want to build a test tank

    For my 1990 120hp Johnson. I was thinking I could build a plywood box 30" deep, 72" long and 36" wide with a cover. Would this work considering I will be using a test prop? Anything special I should add inside ie; baffles etc.? I'm a carpenter so building one that won't come apart is no problem.

    Any johnyrude mechs here in NH or ME?

    I thought my boat was fixed by the mech who worked on it a couple months ago. I just found out that when he was able to get the 6k rpm out of it that he did it on a flush adapter. Are any of you guys in my area? I need someone to fix this thing. I can't do it.
