135 etec starts hard 1/20 try's runs 10 secs or Les very poorly when starts. New plugs,gas,filter, fuel pump. Any ideas?
Based on the information provided, it seems like you have already checked and replaced some common components that could cause the described issue. However, there could be several other potential causes for the problem you're experiencing with your Evinrude E-TEC outboard motor.
Here are a few additional suggestions to consider:
1. Ignition System: Check the ignition coils, ignition timing, and spark plug wires for any signs of damage or malfunction. Ensure that the spark plugs are properly gapped and the correct type for your engine.
2. Carburetor or Fuel Injectors: If your outboard motor has a carburetor, it may be clogged or in need of adjustment. Cleaning the carburetor or checking the fuel injectors for proper operation could help resolve the issue.
3. Air Intake System: Inspect the air filter and intake manifold for any obstructions or blockages that may restrict airflow to the engine. Make sure the air filter is clean and functioning correctly.
4. Compression: Low compression in one or more cylinders can cause poor starting and running issues. Consider performing a compression test to determine if there are any abnormalities in the engine's compression.
5. Electrical System: Check the battery voltage and connections to ensure they are in good condition. Faulty electrical connections or a weak battery can affect the starting and running of the engine.
If you have performed all these checks and are still unable to diagnose the issue, it may be best to consult a certified marine mechanic or an authorized Evinrude service center. They will have the expertise and specialized equipment to diagnose and resolve the problem with your outboard motor.
How can I replace the thermostat in a Suzuki DF25A outboard.
I hope this helps someone because there is such a lack of helpful info/examples online for these little motors. Pretty simple once you remove the Air intake casing (2 screws). Thermostat is in this highlighted circle (Starboard side of motor)
My icom v8000 says off when I transmit how do I fix this
Hi
This sounds very much to me like a power supply problem.
If I understand your question correctly, the radio will turn on but when transmitting it shuts itself shuts off. This is usually caused by a poor connection to your battery. Although it is possible to show 12v using a voltmeter, there may not be enough connection when putting the circuit under load. (25 watts is a considerable load)
I would inspect both positive and negative connections (pay particular attention to the crimped lugs) , clean and lubricate them and give it another shot.
Here is a link to Trojan battery explaining in detail the importance of clean battery terminals.
Hope this helps you out.
