"Motor is: '05 DF-90. 140
"Motor is: '05 DF-90. 140 hrs. Pampered engine. Lives on trailer in climate controlled garage when not in use. Cold start is perfect. Hot start...can be tricky. You can crank forever, & won't start. If you stop cranking, & start cranking again, it will start. (ocasionally you have to try a couple of times)
When this happens....you can smell hydrocarbons immediately after it starts.
This doesn't happen all the time, but at least 50% of the time on Hot Starts.
Also.....lately has an occasional misfire at idle (hot or cold; in neutral, but especially in reverse at idle) Misfire only lasts for one or 2 revolutions of engine.....very brief.
I just replaced the sp plugs & fuel filter a few days ago, but not had a chance to retry.
Spark plugs & fuel filter that came out looked perfect....I don't expect the problem is resolved.
No check engine lite.
(I DO have the Suzuki Software & Hardware to hook it up to a laptop, but haven't done so yet....I am an ASE Certified Volvo AUTOMOTIVE Dealership Master Technician since '74 (semi-retired now) but have no working experience with Suzuki OBs....big difference in the cramped world of OBs compared to under the hood of a car)
Any experienced help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I was advised that the problem may lie in a maladjusted Throttle Switch @ idle, but I seem to believe that isn't the problem...although....I haven't checked yet.
Thanks."
