I've asked a lot of advice on iboats so I want to share a solution to a problem I was having....
I'd been battling a problem with the engine on my restored Aquasport 19-6 for several months. The engine is a great looking 2001 Suzuki 115 2-stroke that came from the Great Lakes. It ran fine at speed but loaded up and flooded out at idle. I'd had it looked at by two different mechanics whom I trust and they couldn't figure it out. The mechanics replaced virtually everything on the engine (fuel pump, computer, injectors, checked the reed valves, etc.) and still no go. Very perplexing. I hated to give up on the motor because it has great compression and ran like a scalded dog at anything above 3,000 rpm.
Anyway, I took it to a third mechanic and $501 later the problem is fixed. The throttle position sensor was bad. The engine now runs great!
So, if your Suzuki 2-stroke won't idle you may want to have the TPS checked!
