    Answer to Suzuki DT200 rev limited to 3000

    My 1993 carbed DT200 ran fine but would not go above 3000 rpms. No warning lights were on, no surges or stalls. Figured it was an ignition problem or one of the sensors limiting the revs. Swapped out all the electrical components from a parts motor, disconnected the sensors, etc, and no fix...

    Converting from motorola box to simple coil ignition system

    In 2010 Frank Acampora posted: [FONT=Arial Black]It is really quite simple if you already have a points distributor. Since the engine is a 12 volt engine with no bypass circuit during start, you need a 12 volt coil or a 9 volt coil and ballast resistor. Run blue wire from "I" terminal of the...

    Chrysler 1977 135 dies if more than 1/3 throttle

    Engine ran great for several outings this summer. Then during a fishing trip after running at all speeds for an hour, engine would die/cut out if opening up past about 1/3 throttle. Would be hard starting after, but would idle and would run perfectly smooth at high idle. We made it back to the...

    backfire on start 1977 Chysler 135

    Engine was running fine for a few days, now on start up the first attempt always leads to an exhaust backfire then on the second attempt starts right up. This happens when engine is cold and when hot. Read something that maybe I need to back out the low speed jets some more, think they are about...

    Need engine temp sender and gauge for 1977 Chrysler 135

    The engine head temp sender is missing and my understanding was that it hooked up to a buzzer originally and not a gauge. Can some one steer me to the correct parts so the sender matches up with a gauge that will give a temp read out and the proper size of the sender unit threads. I am not doing...

    throttle cabel adjustment prolems 1977 Chysler 135HG

    the idle stop on the tower shaft doesn't return to "stopped" position so the idle speed is very high ( I don't have a tach) in neutral. I can push the thottle linkage back to idle by hand, but when the control box level is moved to forward, the thottle engages first so the motor jumps into gear...

    1977 Crysler 135 steering connection - missing part?

    Went to hook up the new teleflex steering ( first time getting the "barn" engine on the boat) and the spash well mount seemed low so added a longer bolt to the "swivel" part on the front of the engine. Didn't look right. Did some research today and I guess I am missing a drag link or link arm...

    1977 Chrysler 135 tilt trim fitting on the tilt cylinder

    The oil line fitting on the top of the trim cylinder broke while I was in the process of replacing the lines. The broken part has a male fitting that screws into the cylinder with a sort of nipple end and the other end is the female threads that the 3/8th flare nut threads into. Anyway, I...

    Had to cut the T/T oil lines at the valve body ( 1977 135 Chrysler)

    in order to get a socket on the nuts to remove from the valve body, in order to repair the valve body. So the lines are 1/2 -1.00 inch shorter. I am going to try to attach the shortened lines. To do that I need some info on flaring the ends and getting a tool to do so. What is the size of the...

    So I set the timing. but is this a "good" spark on a 1977 1359HG

    When I adjusted to 32 degrees, the dist adjustment screw was in so the distance between the screw posts was about 1/4 inch compared to the specs of between 3/8 and 1/2. Anyway, here is a movie where I am tapping on the belt and pressing it in, to get short or long sparks on the #1 plug. Is that...

    Rectifier replacement 1977 Chrysler 135HG

    Jeeze I get the timing figured out and now I see the rectifier is smoking and hot. I see that CDI makes a replacement that will replace the obsolete Mercury part F404470-1 and I can get it from Sea-Way Marine here in Seattle, but it is $100. The engine still runs lousy, lots of flat spots when...
