Hi all, recently received a suzuki DT4 2 stroke as a tender engine. I am running it at 50:1. It starts and idles fine but bogs down when underload, she also runs with quite a lot of smoke. We ran it yesterday and set the fuel cut off to half open and the revs did pick up underload but then she...

Thanks for all the help. This was the state of the filler cap seal on the effected tank. Feel stupid I didn't realise this could have been the problem in the beginning! Fingers crossed that's it all sorted now.

Not yet! I will try that tomorrow!

Hi all, Recently took both fuel tanks out of our boat to get them cleaned. They were cut open cleaned and welded back together. They were then filled full. Yesterday I took the boat out for the first time since December after major work had been completed. The engines both ran like a dream...

Thanks for all that, I will replace both sets of filters in place of 500FGs just wondering if anyone knows what fittings I will need to connect to this crossfeed valve? it was fitted in my S34 as standard I believe.

Tanks were removed cut open in three places cleaned and welded up again. So I just need to remove the old pre filter housing and connect the racor filters to the existing pipe work. Any idea where I can get new fittings to fit the racor to the existing pipework?

Hi all, After a dirty diesel experience I am trying to find a solution for fitting a extra layer of protection for future. I have recently had both tanks cleaned out on my S34 with KAD 43s. Currently each tank/engine set up is fitted with a QL decontaminator ---> Standard Pre Filter ---->...

Hi, Sorry for the delay/ No updates yet. I will have to wait to see how she runs when I get the boat back in the water in April. Will keep you posted. Thanks

Yes, i saw the thread on the slipping prop. When I increase revs on it and leave the other engine I do get a speed increase. Would this happen if the prop was slipping?

So i'm afraid I may have wasted everyone's time. Here is a video I just took of the engine running at 1600rpm. Does it sound normal to you? - The problem I have had is the boat is out of the water now at my yard. So i can't take it out to test. The last trip there was a horrible noise when the...

Well sorry the 3900 was achieved when the bad engine was pushing maybe 3300. Since then it's max has dropped to around 2600-2800. It may achieve 3000 for a really short time and then the revs come back.

2600 with both engines going on the plane. The other engine will reach 3900.

Will get a video of it shortly

So I've just realised the noise in the video of the supercharger engaging and disengaging is actually my friend on the throttle. It's the actual supercharger noise I'm refering to. Does it sound normal when the supercharger is running?

Okay, I've just changed all the belts and to my knowledge they are all tensioned correctly but will check all of them and tensioners. Would this noise not be heard all the time. Would this explain a lack of performance. Last time the engine ran under load I could only achieve 2600rpm.
