Re: suzuki dt140

have you hit anything? how does the engine run (besides the shaking)??? I have seen a bent propshaft do that.

Re: suzuki dt140

Really all you have to do o is spin the prop with the engine off and in neutral. If it wabbles up and down, it's bent.

And from what you are explaining... You should do a compression test. And see what that spits out. At least you can try and isolate the vibration to either the power head, mid section, or gearcase.
