15 HP rebuilt advice

[Chicoutimi]

Hi, I would like to know what's involed in rebuilding a 15 hp suzuki engine.

DO I need to replace all gasket, where can we get parts, cheap...

How do I take it appart. I see the bolts under the engine. What's in between the engine and the base, muffler tube? connecting rod?, , shaft for the gears? Do they come off easy or is it a pain to remove / reinstall?.

I am not a mechanic but I do normal stuff on my car, truck, ATV, Snowmobile. I took engine apart on snowmobile before, but I am new to outboard engine.

Any advice welcome, anything on the web for FREE manual?

Thanks

Welcome to iboats .... why do you need to rebuild it? did it seize? Yes you would need all new gaskets, and it is not as easy as it seems ...... you can fins parts online at www.brownspoint.com

Thanks for the advice, there is a lot of little parts in there. I was wondering when you lift the engine if there is things falling on the floor, like connection to the shaft, exhaust, etc.

I do not know what is wrong with it, I heard a clic, then it running only on one cylinder. I looked inside by revoming the cylinder cap and one of the piston leaves an oil strike. I thought it was seize on the lake, It was hard to pull the crank but after a while, it came back to normal.
