Starting Problem with Suzuki DT65

#1 Post by dgallagher179 »

I have a mid nineties DT65 outboard. It starts first time when cold. When I go fishing and turn off the engine it will not restart. If I leave it for a couple of hours it starts again. It does not seem to be too hot and their is some water coming out of the telltale although it needsvthevsand unblocked from it at times. Does anyone have any ideavwhatbthe problem is.

Are they easy to clean myself or do I need a mechanic. I am on a budget.

Budget should not really come into it when you are dealing with safety on the water.
