Hey guys. My buddy and I have kept our boats on the island the past few years.
However he has an older Islander with a Suzuki 140 four stroke. Last summer we thought we'd get her going so we could fish out of Vancouver. It had been in storage a few years. Stabilizer in the tank. Replaced the fuel water separator and gas was looking good from the tank. Tried to get running and it just wouldn't fire up.
A quick talk with the mechanic at Marina and he figured their was bad fuel in the lines to the engine. Also said all lines need to be replaced and quoted a cost of approx
2000$. I'm sure someone on here has had a similar circumstance and I know alot of people on here are much smarter than me.
Hoping to get people's opinion and thoughts before I track down someone to repair
