Suzuki DT Outboard - Any Good?

[@joeblan9426]

Always enjoy your Videos! You fix them so the average person can! Appreciate you sharing!

[@hawkeyemarine]

Notice the tilt and trim. Suzuki made them for Johnson Evinrude. I got super sport running a few years ago. Its a good running motor still a bit strange with the two spark plugs per cylinder.

[@jm-ve8ry]

Your videos are the greatest thing on the internet. I have an 88 Johnson’s 140 Looper, but I watch all your stuff start to finish. So well done.

[@jeffselano2300]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn a lot. Thank you for explaining things in plain English. Just Subscribed and keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated

[@paulsheppard3158]

Hi Brandon, Try Browns in USA or Impex in Japan they both keep parts for Suzuki, good luck

[@Yogi-Megan]

That is one meticulous workshop bro! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎 Subscribed 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bobbell5928]

All 4 cylinder DTs parts are interchangeable. Only the carbs are different. Plenty of used and after market parts available. Really good motors. I have a 1988 DT140

[@ct1762]

wrong! this is the pre- IC ignition. yours is an IC ignition. all digital. actually not much use anyway as those parts are still hard to find. or are you saying you are getting lucky on ebay>?

[@larrygulick6080]

I'll trade you my ex wife for your outboard motor. Maybe you can get her running correctly?!?

[@1luxuryliner440]

That's Hella funny lol😂the ex wife comment in there

[@psi23k]

😂😂😂😂

Just an idea just finished a water pump ki on 1988 Johnson 40 hp after struggling trying to get the impeller down over the key took key off and used a small file and put a very slight bevel on top edge of key started first time

[@dannyrock5919]

Brandon nice video and I like the camera close ups. What a shame that you can’t get parts for what could be an engine with years of life left. Check you next time.

[@dougaranda6187]

That’s gotta be the first outboard I’ve ever seen that really could use an air filter.

[@lifeofdan1265]

It’s all fun and games unit you try to source a TPS sensor on the middle carb. Discontinued Suzuki part and they don’t make aftermarket’s

[@mjodr]

Time to fire up Fusion, the 3d printer, and search Mouser/DigiKey for the electronic part!

[@rok7980]

Brandon, love your videos. I would like to get your opinion on my old 1987 88hp Evinrude v4 crossflow (freshwater use). I was doing my annual maintenance and went to replace the spark plugs. I am using champion QL77JC4. My manual states the spark plug gap should be .040. I recently read on the web that Evinrude changed their gap suggestion to .030 in the early 90s to make plugs last longer. That seems like a big change to me. I am thinking I may split the difference and gap my new plugs to .035. What is your opinion? Thank You.

[@joehozzy2616]

I read somewhere that Suzuki have distanced themselves from their 2 stroke models. Likely an environmental marketing angle. They are also apparently offering very generous trade ins, for owners moving from 2 to 4 strokes (and destroying the old motors!) 😳

[@lakeside5137]

Missing you Brandon - Hope all is well

[@1luxuryliner440]

Dang burning man motor

[@lodollar23]

It's ridiculous how we can't find boat parts now. I just have a 90s 40hp mercury and thier getting hard to find.

[@bginvestor101]

Brandon , where on earth did you get the OMC board w/ a full set of tools? Wow. DId you buy it off a closing business?

[@BrandonsGarage]

Oh it didn't come with all tools, just some tools. That's years of searching on that wall (Boards too, 5 years to find a set)

[@JamesSmith-jr2rc]

Any new videos coming?

[@MultiPostman12]

Hey I got a Johnson 85hp 1978 with good compression but when I start to give it more rpm it starts to make a clicking noise it doesn’t seem to change with rpm . I have a video if there’s somewhere I can send it thanks

[@privateer0561]

Make your own points ignition.

[@brunomahle1618]

How much later?

[@privateer0561]

You can get these parts used and take your chances.

[@tomreynolds5767]

Tool boards are BA

[@mjodr]

I had a conversation with a friend when I was working on his powersports equipment for the 37th time. I told him "...and that requires a special tool I don't have". His response: "Special tool? There's no such thing." and I tried to explain to him Brandon's OMC special tool wall with boards to hang them up on, outlines, part numbers, etc. He looked at me like I was an alien. He genuinely had never heard of such a thing, lol.

[@KortNatali]

If you are ever in Phoenix I have a running Mercury 150hp tower of power you can have for free. Just come get it out of my shop lol

[@mikecalvin1402]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@ATStone]

Where's a good place to ask you questions about diagnosing an issue on my Johnson 70? I don't want to take over your comments with something irrelevant to the video.

[@BrandonsGarage]

Email?

[@ShellfishTrader]

I have an evinrude 70 so imo it's best to have your discussions in public so we can all.learn and they will be searchable in future. Set up a discussion forum. Thanks f

[@Yamahaoutboardguy5090]

Those Suzuki motors aren’t very good. I would love to see you work on a Yamaha 2 stroke and share your opinion on them. I personally prefer them over Evinrude/Johnson

[@danielrobert7181]

Suzuki is a quality manufacturer but asking for parts on a 45 year-old engine is pushing your luck. One might turn to Europe (or Japan if you can read Japanese) as Suzuki was (and still is) quite popular on the Old Continent. Mind you, you will meet about the same parts availability challenge on US-built Mercury engines !
