    2001 Suzuki DF140, won't crank, no spark

    I'm not getting into a squirting match about who knows more about 4 stroke EFI outboards , just trying to help Op as best i can with limited info and without having my head in the motor. keep in mind the Op is probably doing his best to get to the root cause so every bit of info helps so some...

    2001 Suzuki DF140, won't crank, no spark

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    my advice !. get the boat sorted first , meanwhile study up on motors and availability of parts for different motors. no rush to get the boat running till the hull is where you want it. you may even have an option to strengthen the hull to suit a bigger motor. that said and an option for you...

    2001 Suzuki DF140, won't crank, no spark

    test the white wire that is on the battery terminal , fuse could be blown or corrosion in the wire. make sure the lanyard key is making proper contact. report back after tests above are completed.

    guessing ? , that could be one of those oil drain devices where you have a petcock that allow you to send a hose out the boat drain. possibly it is in the drain position or the hose is split.
