Help with 2 stroke

Post by vito1023 »

I have a friend with a Lund boat with a 20 HP 2 stroke Suzuki engine, he’s having trouble with the engine and can’t find anybody to work on it, he ran SeaFoam and changed the fuel lines but he can’t get any power out of the motor it just runs at the slowest speed and won’t go any faster.
So if anyone can help or suggest a shop that will work on 2 strokes it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

Hey Vito . Maybe try the Dinghy Doctor . Seems it should not be that hard to find someone for the 2 strokes . There sure a lot of the 2 stroke engines still running out there . Good luck

Strangely enough there aren’t any that I’ve found until Sunset Marine gave me a number to a guy in Santee.
Thanks to all who have tried to help.

Think the guy in santee is "fernando"
or something hispanic...
Ive never dealt with him but have heard many others mention him, he's always trying to sell used outboards...
Strange that sunset wont take a crack at it, guess when you have work, you can pick & chose...
as stated dinghy doctor off rosecrans, the boat grotto la mesa area, west coast outboards, shelter island inflatables, last 2 reccs from zuks website....

x2 with Shelter Island Inflatables... I needed to replace a cracked fuel filter/water separator recently. Parts not available at West Marine or SD Marine Exchange... Walked across the street to Shelter Island Inflatables where the owner, (?) couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Pleasant surprise! Back on the water lickety-split...

Thanks Slater and salt water guy for your help, have an appointment with Fernando in Santee but I will keep both of your suggestions in case.
Shelter Island inflatables looks very interesting.
Thanks again
