75hp 2 stroke Suziki problem?
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2009-04-07 12:31
Hi Guys,
Went out on Sunday and my Suzuki just stopped around Point Peron. I was only running it at about half throttle and it just died?
Checked all the obvious - petrol, vents, lines, wires, plugs, but could not get it started, spark looked weak, but I was in midday sun.
Rescued by sea rescue after an older chap came and gave us a tow towards the ramp.
Pissed off about the days fishing, I sulked off home and when I tried the motor, it started first time??
I checked for loose wires, connections etc.. but nothing - tried to simulate the fault, but no way - just runs..
Anyone ever have a similar problem with the 85ish model suzuki?
Now I will always doubt the motor - anyone know a good suzuki mechanic that can take a look?

Hi davebarry,
Hi davebarry,
Iv'e come across a few suzuki's where the lanyard kill switch
is not pushed in all the way they get like this as the plastic
ages.
also any bare wires in the kill circuit exposed to salt can do
the same thing. hope this helps.
