    Trim Motor/Rebuild 1982 DT85

    OK. I have a few other threads linked to this motor, but not this topic. Sooooooo................short story, my trim motor has stopped working. The brushes are bad.

    My New (To Me) Boat

    Well, after several fights with my old boat motor, several attempted repairs, a lot of down time and loads of aggravation, I finally had all I could stand. I poured a lot of money into the old motor trying to get it right. I have other threads that discuss some of my issues so I will not go in...

    85hp 1982 Suzuki dies on throttle up

    I'm back with a slight problem. Boat idles ok and I can adjust it to run on idle. It's a little high, but it'll run. Problem is, when I try to throttle up it dies. Unless I choke it a few times while in gear and giving gas. Then it will take off. Acts like it's bogging down when throttling up...

    Guide for throttle linkage settings?

    I have an '85 82hp Suzi and was wondering if there is a guide or specific way to set/adjust all the linkages-the carbs, timing retard(if that's what it's called), Those springy things that connect it all.

    1982 Dt85

    I have an '82 Suzi 85 horse motor. New fuel pump(1 year). I can't seem to get it to idle right and when I throttle up it wants to bog down. Then I can choke it and it takes off fine. I have to rev the engine then put it in gear quick otherwise it will die. I think it's the floats in the carbs...

    85 Horse Suzi

    I'm back. I have a 1982, 85 Horse Suzuki and it will not start without starting fluid. I know I probably shouldn't use it but it's the only way I can get it to start. After I get it started I have to rev it up then put it in gear quick because it will not idle. But if I run it at 2500 rpms or...

    sUZUKI MOTOR
