I think I need to adjust my throttle control. I recently had my skiff in for warranty work on the wiring and the dealership may have removed my throttle cables to perform the necessary repair work. I’m thinking they may have put them back and didn’t adjust them properly BUT, I don’t know that for sure. I did check the original problem and it was repaired and working properly but before I took it out for a test ride, (a mistake I won’t make again) I completed a project to move my consol forward, without disconnecting the cables and I’m sure I put some strain of the cables. Anyway, I was achieving a max of 6000 RPM's before the move and now I max out at 5200, with the front mounted shift lever all the way to the console. I’m certain that the weight shift/displacement by moving the console forward is not the problem as I have had considerable amounts of weight all over this boat without a loss of RPM. Can someone explain the procedure to check and (if necessary) adjust the cables? I have the expensive (OEM) service and repair manual but it mentions nothing about the shift/throttle control unit.
Thanks,
Dave |

I'm not really sure. I took my 6 month old skiff in for a problem with the ignition, which turned out to be a faulty main wire harness. Suzuki sent a new harness and I was left with a bill of 1.5 hours labor (130 bucks) "troubleshooting" fee, which Suzuki doesn't cover according to the dealership. This, after I all but pointed the service manager and dealership owner to the wire harness as the suspected cause, by explaining all that I had previously done to diagnose the problem. I went to this dealership only once and I can't seem to get a strait answer out of them, mostly because I'm not "allowed" to speak with a knowledgeable mechanic, only the service manager, which (in this dealership) is little more than an attractive young lady with some computer savvy and a really cute way of protecting the service department and dealership owner from interruptions.
Anyway, I have no desire to return to the dealership unless I have no other option. I wouldn't have in the first place if I thought the ignition problem was not going to be a "warranty" issue and fully covered.
Whether they caused this (throttle) problem, I can't say but I doubt it - most likely I caused it when I moved the console forward so I'm trying to get some info on working with these controls.
