    Clutch on?

    My 25NS3 is running lean. I have my pilot adjustment screw set to 1 1/2 turns out. I just cleaned the carb and I'm looking at the factory manual. It says to "Set carburetor adjusting screw with the clutch on." Does that mean it needs to be in forward gear? Not sure what "clutch on" means? Help...

    Tohatsu / Nissan / Outboard Grease Thread:

    Hello to all. Not trying to start another "what's the best outboard oil" thread but I need some recommendations. Once, I watched an outboard mechanic replace a power head and an impeller on one of my outboards. He was meticulous and seemed to use an assortment of lubricants (grease) on the...

    Hello all and thanks to everyone who helped me on the orange spark thread. Now after changing all the ignition parts attached to the 1987 Suzuki DT 30 motor it is starting reliably.

    No spark 1987 Suzuki DT 30

    Engine won't fire, no spark. Started troubleshooting at the coil. Put mulitimeter ohm tester on each of the sparkplug wires (2) and needle doesn't move. Can I assume the coil / cdi is bad from this test or is there something else to check before spending money? Any and all opinions appreciated.
