    2.2 Suzuki questions.

    I recently bought a used 1997 Suzuki 2.2.The motor came without any information on what the controls are or how to prime or start it. On one side is a circular thingy with a pointer and an O & S on it. Have a feeling that this might turn the fuel on or off. Some feedback on how to start this...

    Yam 70 broken head bolt/replace w/ stud.

    I suspected a stuck or broken ring on my 1989 Yam 70 and decided to look inside the cylinders to see what's going on. Number 6 head bolt decided it wasn't coming out and broke.
