HELP WITH SUZUKI OUTBOARD MOTOR
Running a 75 horse Suzuki outboard. It's the type that has an oil resevoir and 2 stroke oil has to be added to this resevoir to be mixed with the gas. While running the motor yesterday, it just didn't sound right, a bit "hollow", a bit "rattely" and it would cut out briefly at higher speeds, but would rev back up almost immediately. Went on all day like this until I really opened it up on the way back in, and after a brief run, the motor died right out. There was no smoke, no over-heating, and it started right back up again, so I crawled back to port. I removed the cap to the oil resevoir and what should have been a resevoir that needed at least a half of quart of oil, was still filled to the top. Also removed the motor cover and the motor itself was still as clean as it always is. Any thoughts?
