  • Df20, start evertime but then....

    I need help!

    I have a 2016 DF 20A outboard tiller.
    This thing has never failed me until recently..

    Setting ready for summer.
    I normally use the boat at least twice a month. But this time is has been sitting for about 2 months.

    So I rpeleaced the fuel with new fuel before the trip out.

    Everything seemed fine but when idling out of the no wake zone about 5-10 min. It started running rough, engine lite came on (no flashing) and there was a lot of tiller vibration.

    We killed the engine, restarted and everything seen normal again, but again 5 min and the same symptom

    Regardless we packed up and headed home.

    I get the same behavior here at home. It does not matter it I'm at idle or with throttle
    I have tested everything I know how to test and have done the following:
    oil change,
    new few filter (internal)
    New fuel water separator external to engine
    New fuel lines and bulb (from the 3 gal portable tank)
    new connectors on tank and engine
    Ran some sea foam through it.
    I tried running it was the file cap loose
    I don't see the bulb changin much (it does get a little softer but doesn't collapse) and have tried to pump it while it was happening but nothing it helping

    The motor is still under warrently and I have an apt with the service center next month.

    Besides the fact that I don't want to be down any longer.

    Am I missing something stupid? Any and all thoughts are welcome,,,

    The other thing you could check is the spark plugs. See how they look and it might provide some clues. Also did you check the lower unit oil?

      Hi Ollie366,
      Appreciate the reply! I checked and replaced the plugs.
      The lower one had a bit of wet oil on it.
      The upper was a bit black, but no wet oil.

      It fire up better and ran fine for 7 min, but same problem came back

      I have not checked the Lower case oil recently ( 6-8 months it was changed), I'll checking it tomorrow in the day light.


      If you think of anything else please let me know,

      C

        I think you have to clean the carbs ultrasonic. 9 out of 10 that solves the problems.
