Suzuki DF140 tell tail

[philliplucky]

Does anyone know if the end cap is removable of my DF140 tell tail as it seams I have picked up a couple of grains of sand which wont pass through the little hole in the end of the tell tail

Yeah they pull out with a bit of help from some pliers.

Just poke a bit of heavy whipper-snipper line or 50lb fluorocarbon line in there while the engine is running and 90% of the time that will dislodge it and the water will flush it out.

thanks for the replys Iv tried the wire trick the grains of sand are just the wrong size to pass through the hole

I use a toothpick and swirl it around as it is running. This often dislodges any sand in that part. In my motor I can pull the tube apart just above that point and back flush it as well.

I had a weak tell tale on my Suzuki DF90. the issue was a stuck thermostat.

theirs plenty of water pressure and I can see the sand it just wont fit through the hole

Get a long piece of thin wire and while you have motor running with muffs play around and it'll clear easily, then leave the wire in your boat

Personally I would not poke anything up there except some fishing line or something soft enough not to puncture the hose.......The Suzuki has an end cap on the hose with a small hole in the side to give it some back pressure and to move the "squirt" to somewhere you can see it traveling along at speed.

Poking a piece of wire up there is asking for trouble IMO.......
