If your engine takes too long to start or requires several attempts to turn on, something isn’t working as it should. It could be due to worn-out spark plugs, issues in the fuel system, or a weak battery.
Our advice: Don’t ignore these symptoms. Early diagnostics can prevent the problem from getting worse.
Modern Suzuki engines produce very little smoke. If you notice thick smoke (especially black or blue), it could be a sign of a combustion issue, excess oil, or serious internal damage.
Remember: A well-tuned engine not only performs better — it also protects the environment.
If you feel like you’re using more fuel than usual, your engine may be running inefficiently. The cause could be anything from a simple blockage in the air system to issues with electronic sensors.
Suzuki Solution: Many models feature the Lean Burn Control system, which optimizes fuel consumption in real time. At Reliable Marine, we can check to ensure it’s working properly.
