1999 V6 Suzi?? Yes, they were available, but I don't think in 4 strokes. I think Suzi introduced the V6 4 strokes in '01 or '02.<br /><br />Yes, you can decarb a 4 stroke, but why bother? Four strokes burn gas, not oil, unless they need much more extensive work than a decarb.<br /><br />Can you clarify for us what your engine really is?

Take the crap out of the back of your SUV (bet you have a lot of stuff in there), put more air in the tires, put in a new set of spark plugs, change the air filter, and reset the ignition timing (you can probably advance it 1-2 degrees from spec). Now it will run as good as new.
