    Cold start ETEC

    I have a 2004 75 ETEC and it has started to stall when the engine is cold. It will always start and if I bring up the RPMs it will run ok. Once the engine warms up a bit the problem is gone. At all RPMs it runs strong. Is there a cold sensor or something that needs to be cleaned?

    Amzoil

    Just bought a tinny with a 1991 30hp Mariner for the younger ones to learn boating and fish with their friends. We are going to use Amzoil as I like its low smoke/smell. On the label it states good for all kinds of 2 strokes even Etec. How can they make this claim? Did they study x100 and match...

    ETEC Tiller Handle

    We may be changing to an ETEC finally, but the handle is too long. Our present Susuki handle is @30 inches and just right. The new ETEC handle is @36 inches and would hit the seat. (Not a good idea!) Is it possible, or bad idea, to cut out 6 inches and refabricate it back together? Moving the...

    why are tillers rated lower

    I'm going to talk to my insurance and I know that the plate will say 125 HP. The sugested rating for the tiller I want is 80 HP. My choice is the 75 HP or the 90 HP. The differance is 5 MPH by my dealer's personal runs with tillers. He has run the boat with a 115T.
