    2002 suzuki dt150 hasn't been started in 8 years

    I'm considering repowering my rig with a used motor. I found a good local deal on a 2002 suzuki dt150. The story on the motor is that it was used as a demo motor for suzuki from 2002-2003. After that it was removed from the boat, crated, and stored in their warehouse. It sat there unitl 2006...

    Shift interrupt switch

    Could a shift interrupt switch cause hard starts under load? What about lack of wot rpms? I've been doing a ton of research and it seems likely that a faulty switch or improperly adjusted cable could be causing my problems. We recently replaced the control cables and shortly after the...

    wire harness diagram

    I recentlly replaced the control cables on my 2000 150hp yamaha hpdi. When doing so I disconnected everything from the motor. When reconnecting everything, I was unsure about a couple of the wire harnesses. Even with the photos I took, I was not able to be positive. I think I got it right...

    hpdi intermittent starting issue

    My 2000 150hp hpdi(vz150ylry) is having an intermittent starting issue. It has been running fine, but the last few trips it has been acting up. Once it starts it runs fine, the problem is starting. I will start it up, run around, and then stop to fish. When I go to move again, sometimes it...

    removing remote throttle control and replacing cables

    I have a 2000 yamaha 150hp vmax hpdi and I'm pretty sure I need to replace my shifter cable. The shifter is stiff and is a little inconsistent. The biggest issue I'm having is that the shifter doesn't usually want to return to neutral. Sometimes I can put it in reverse and then it will go...

    Blown cylinder what do I do?

    This can't get any worse.:mad: I just took my boat to the shop to trace my "fuel problem" and they told me my #6 cylinder is dead and I need a new powerhead or motor. If I decide to keep this boat, what is my best option? I believe my available options are either a rebuild, new powerhead, or...

    fuel injector numbers

    First, I'll make this post as short and simple as I can, then I'll add any other info that you request. My 150 vmax hpdi is having trouble getting fuel. It has a really hard time starting and won't idle. When it does start and I put it in gear it has no power and only gets to about 4000...

    how to remove injectors on hpdi

    This is another post on my troubled outboard, 2000 150hp vmax hpdi(vz150tlry). We have now changed all 4 fuel filters, cleaned out the vst, and put new plugs in. We are still having problems. The motor still turns over, but has a really hard time starting. Even when we can get it to start...

    2000 150hp yamaha vmax hpdi not getting fuel

    Ok, so were on the home stretch of the skeeter project and we just did the maintenance stuff to the outboard. We replaced water pump, put in new plugs, fuel filter, greased prop shaft, etc... We hooked it up to the hose to test run it and seat everything. It started right up and ran great for...

    skeeter hull repair

    I bought this skeeter from a friend a few months ago and am working on getting it back on the water. Last October at Lake Mead we hit some really bad weather combined with engine trouble and ended up stranded with the boat beached for a couple days. Needless to say, the hull ended up getting a...

    2000 150hp vmax hpdi

    I'm looking at a skeeter with a 2000 150hp vmax hpdi. How do I check the compression on this? Also, how long would you expect this motor to run strong before needing a new powerhead or rebuild. It has been used about 1-2 times a week since new, but well maintained by both owners. It still...
