My 2002 Suzuki DF115 power tilt piston is leaking. Very milky fluid and the tilt moves very slow until it gets about halfway raised and then it moves the motor OK. This is a single ram unit, not 3 ram and there is not much info online about working on this style. The problem appears to be a...
Greetings,
Hoping some folks can provide insight and suggestions on my overheating issue. I have a low hour 2001 DF115 that has developed an overheating issue at high RPMs (~5000). Couple times on the water get the alarm and engine cuts back. I stop, turn the engine off, and I can restart no...
Wasn't sure how to word the title, but I'm trying to run the engine with only the primary wiring harness connected to do some maintenance but can't get it to turn over. The throttle, gear shifter, and tachometer are disconnected and the ignition harness is connected. The engine wont turn over...
Re: Engine is on the seabed advice needed - 5hp 2 st
So the first try freediving last Wednesday was pretty useless, the 2nd try with tanks on Friday we never got on the spot I wanted. So without feeling like I ever got a good shot at finding it I gave it one last try. Even though I didn't have...
Apologies for cross posting. My 5hp 2 stroke got flung off transom at FULL throttle (~10mph) as result of an unexpected and immediate 90 deg turn. So although I'm lucky it didn't knock me out, its now in about 20-40' of SALT water and I'm planning to dive and recover it from my 12' skiff in the...

Hi,
I posted in the Suzuki forum with one good suggestion but thought I'd check in with the johnnyrude crowd. I have a couple mid 80s 15hp and thought there might be some insight in this forum given some comparable design features. Anyone know of a good epoxy made for fuel exposure that I can...
Hi, I have a 2000 Suzuki 5hp that needed a carb overhaul. Unfortunately I broke one of the aluminum arms that supports the float hinge pin. I have the part and could reattach it easily if there is a bonding agent that will resist having the exposure to the fuel. Can anyone refer me to a material...
Greetings, I rebuilt an '85 Johnson 15 hp over the winter and finally got it put back together and ready for testing. It started up easy enough but I noticed a consistent spark coming from the powerpack ground. My first thought was that the ground was in the wrong spot as I put the ground under...
In my haste to attach a ground wire to the upper aft bypass cover bolt my impact drill was in the tighten position and snapped the bolt. Is it imperative for me to replace this bolt or could I get by with a workaround? Could I just solder the interior of the bolt hole to secure everything? If I...
One of the kill switch wires for my pull start '85 Johnson 15hp are badly chewed up and need to be replaced. I just need to splice in a section of wire but do not know if there is a specific size/type that I need. It appears I would need to replace the whole assembly to resolve this minor issue...
Re: '85 15 hp Johnson -motor cover to steering bracket seal question
I printed an image of the diagram, the part is #25 at the bottom of the image. Any thoughts? The parts diagram just shows a small strip so it's not clear what this part looks like.
I'm putting together a parts order and the parts diagram shows there is a seal between the bottom of the engine cover and the steering bracket. My engine lost this long ago and I cannot see where it should even go. Anyone know what this part is for, how important it is and where it is placed on...
Hi, I've been down the long low compression troubleshooting road on my '85 johnson 15 which ended with 2 new GLM cast pistons standard size. After finally getting them inserted into the cylinders they seem too tight. I can move them but there is definitely friction and it is not a smooth pull...
