this may have happened if the motor was tested then not all the gas was removed before it was crated and the remaining gas formed varnish as it dried which was softened up at the initial running after you bought it when everything ran fine.
offhand it sounds to me as though the main jet or if it has them the needle jets could be blockled. once the butterfly opens the pms looses vaccum and no more gas is pulled through it.īecause of this i really doubt messing with it will solve anything, most likely it is something else. The screw under the plug is the pms (primary mixture screw) which feeds gas to the engine at idle before the throttle is opened. Thanks in advance for any input on these issues. If it was blocked during that time, could I have done some damage through overheating? If so, would that be apparent? It seems to be working fine right now.
#Suzuki 2.5 outboard motor full
The water discharge was working fine, but I don't think I looked at it during my last run back to the boat dock where I ran it full throttle for probably 15 minutes. Any thoughts on this? I used the boat all day yesterday, but never noticed any issue. Questions: How did this debris get in the pee hole? Isn't there a screen on the impeller that is supposed to keep this stuff out? My concern is that it could it have come from somewhere internal, i.e., something broken. After I replaced the plug and started the engine, everything worked fine. Everything looked normal on the lower unit, so I unscrewed the pee hole plug and found a tiny piece of what appeared to be black plastic debris (about half the size of a grain of rice) blocking the hole. I noticed no water coming out of the pee hole, so I immediately shut it off. This morning I hooked the motor to a trash can and started it. I think this may be adding to the strain, so I am going to try raising the transom a couple of inches to see if that helps smooth things out. on the rear seat it drops four or five inches under water.
With no one on the boat, the cavitation plate is right at the surface of the water.
Judging the propeller depth is difficult. Is that a legitimate concern? It actually seems to push the Sea Eagle better with someone sitting in the front, as opposed to just me in the back. Still, I worry that I might damage the motor because of the strain of pushing an inflatable. It is still much faster than the trolling motor I was using previously. The max the boat will take is 4hp, and because it has a displacement hull, it's going to go the same speed (5 mph max) no matter the size of the motor. I bought this motor because I was told by a Sea Eagle rep that 2.5 hp would be adequate, I read good things about it, I could afford it, and it is super light (30 lbs.). Question: is this a) normal, in the sense that it just takes a long time to get this engine warmed up?, b) a clogged jet (already?), or c) bad gas (I tried a different brand of gas, 93 octane, and added some Sea Foam, but it hasn't made any difference)? Once I did, after running for a while in gear, it seemed to work a lot better. Only by babying it repeatedly could I get it to rev up. I could usually save it by quickly dethrottling back to idle, but it was very difficult to get the rpms up while in gear. Even after what I thought was ample idling time for the engine to get warm, opening the throttle at all while in gear would cause the motor to stall. Second time out I opened up the throttle a bit more, but immediately noticed an issue. I never opened up the throttle, and ran it about five hours. Here are my observations and questions so far. It works alright, but pushing an inflatable through the water is like pushing a mattress. The first two times I took it real easy for the break in, mostly idling, trolling and running at low throttle. Just bought a brand new DF 2.5s for my inflatable Sea Eagle SE9 for fishing.
