When I pulled the lower unit on my 1988 DT200 I noticed there is a seal and brass bushing in the lower part of the exhaust leg (intermediate housing?). The bushing goes over the driveshaft directly above the water pump housing. <br /><br />I need to replace this part and I'm having a hard time...
I'm looking for a rectifier/regulator assembly for a 1988 Suzuki DT200. If anyone has one available please let me know.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Rob<br />grandnat@optonline.net
I have twin 1988 DT200's on my boat and I'd like to convert one motor to a counter rotating setup. I've found out that suzuki didn't offer a counter rotating gearcase back then, so there's no official way to convert. I'm wondering if it would be possible to simply reverse the shift linkages and...
I have a pair of 1988 DT200's on a boat and they are both standard rotation motors. I'm wondering what it would take to convert one motor to counter rotating? Is the easiest/cheapest method to find a used counter rotating lower unit or can I buy the parts/gears to revers the rotation of the...
I have twin 1988 Suzuki DT-200's and have been having a problem with them ever since I bought this boat 2 years ago. The motors both start and idle perfectly and then run perfectly at cruising speeds over 3000 rpm.<br /><br />The problem is when trying to troll at medium speeds (7-9 kts). During...
I'm trying to diagnose a 1988 DT200 with no charge that I beleive may be a problem with the rectifier. The manual I have says that you need to test all combinations of the rectifier wiring leads with a powered test light. I was wondering if I could accomplish the same thing by just using an ohm...
I have twin 88 DT 200's that don't appear to be charging properly. When the motors are running I only get between 12.2 and 12.6 volts at the batteries no matter what speed the motors are run at. I tried to check the voltage going to the rectifier (I forget the wire colors, maybe red and yellow?)...
I have twin 1988 DT200's and I am trying to troubleshoot the trim guages. I have the digital guages and they consistently read 50 (full trim) no matter what position the motors are in. I removed the trim senders and they move freely. I also connected an ohm meter in all possible combinations...
I was wondering if a 15 spline prop from a Johnson or Evinrude outboard will fit a 1988 suzuki DT200 outboard? I'm looking at a few used props and just want to make sure they will fit before buying them.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Rob
I have twin 1988 DT200's and on one motor the charging system is no good. I have narrowed it down to the voltage regulator/rectifier. (anyone have a used one for sale?)<br /><br />I'm wondering if it is ok for now to run both motors with the battery switches in the 'all' positions. This will tie...
I have posted about a problem I have ona 1988 Suzuki DT200 where I have no spark to 3 of the cylinders and I just read this post by another member:<br /><br />"Well.... found out yesterday that the motor is a 1988. Anyway, it turns out that there is a warning module that turns off one bank when...
I have a 1989 DT200 V6 that has no spark on the port bank of cylinders yet the starboard bank of 3 is fine. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what could cause a loss of spark to all 3 cylinders on one side at the same time? I tried doing the resistance checks for the pulsar coils and the...
I have twin 88 DT200's that don't seem to be charging the batteries properly. I tested the voltage at the batteries with the motors running at idle and it was about 12.2 volts and with the motors running at 2000 rpm the voltage stayed at about 12.2 volts. Is 2000 rpm enough for the charging...
I'm looking to pick up a set of 15x17 stainless props for a pair of 1988 DT200's and I was wondering what shaft size and spline count I need? I'm wondering if other props will fit or if they are suzuki specific?<br /><br />Thanks for any help,<br />Rob
