need help

i have a 150hp suzuki.when u crank it its like its only running on 3 of the cylinders.it doesnt get up and go top speed is about 7mph.when u feel the engine the left side is warm but the right side isnt and they not getting fire because i put a screwdriver in to see.i changed the power pack and still no luck.any ideas what it could be????please help

what year? 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
Wouldn't be coils as I doubt they would all go out on one side
at the same time and these suzuki coils don't usually go bad.
If you replaced the ecu/power pack then it is probably under
the flywheel, such as a stator or pick up coil, depending on year and model.
Give me the year and model and I'll try to help you.

its a 96 and a 2 stroke v6 with 12 sparkplugs..and theres only 300 hours on the motor.will i have to pull the flywheel off to get 2 the stator

I do not know your motor as well as I know my 1996 DT 140s, but I did look at the ignition system schematic for you, which you can see at Browns Point Marine Service.
You do have a stator under the flywheel and yes you have to pull it to get to it. It is not difficult if you have a flywheel puller. I just bought one at autozone and they are not expensive and some lend them out. If i saw things correctly, you have an ignition control unit and a CDI unit as well as a stator. I believe any of these can let you lose your spark. All these components are expensive so you will want to get a meter and test them instead of throwing parts at it. I bought a Suzuki service manual on CDROM on eBay for $5 and it is awesome. I recommend you do that as it tells you how to test these components. There are others on this site that know more about your motor than I do and hopefuly they will chime in.

thanks....i did put another ignition control on it and still nothing.i guess im gunna have to find a stator

[ECU1984]

A couple of years ago, I had a mercury 135 and it lost spark on one side of the motor and it was the stator. I bought a used one off eBay and it was still running fine when i sold it two years later. Let me know how you make out.

you need to test things out first

sounds like a trigger not a stator

[joshkibodeaux]

where is that trigger located by??

You better buy a shop manual and a good meter and DVA

I can tell you, but i would buy that manual
