The rbuid has started
I have a '87 150 Suzuki 20" shaft that runs great but not a fan of the 20" transom. It only gives you about 4-5" of freeboard at the transom. Less than that when your standing back there fishing. The transom rebuild is next. I cant bring myself to spend $12-$15,000 on a new etec. So I searched craigslist and found a '99 225 suzuki with low hours with a bad piston for $600. The rebuild has started this motor is in great shape besides the bad hole. I will hopefully have another couple hundred dollars with a new sleeve and piston. I will let you know how it goes.

Holy grail of holes. That joker was lean. Did you figure out why it went south? I am sure it all comes apart and goes to the machine shop Chiefsurfer.

Big hole
The other side looks like new, the engine has been rebuilt some time recently by a marine machine shop in Fort Lauderdale. When I was taking the motor apart I notice the injector for that cylinder was partially unplugged. I think the mechanic that assembled the motor didn't plug the injector electrical plug in all the way or it came lose which gave it an eratic injection.

Stupid question, Why does each cylinder have two spark plugs?
