This is for a friend of mine. He has a mid 80's Suzuki 75 in very good condition. It sits on a small 15 footer. He was told that the powerhead on a 75 and 90 are the same, and if he wanted to upgrade to the 90 he just needs to change the carbs to the same ones on a 90. I told him I didn't know but knew just the place to go, which is here. So do I tell this guy he is crazy or do I tell him to order the carbs?

By the way, my 1988 Yamaha 225 is arriving this week, so I may need help in the near future.

Thx in advance to everyone and have a great day!@!!

No it is not the same ..... the 75hp suzuki is similar to the 85hp but only up until 1988 models ..... they only start to make 90hp suzuki's in 1989 onwards ..... and the 90hp is similar to the 100hp ......

Re: Mid 80's Suzuki 75 HP Question

Thx for the reply, now, where can I find the year of this motor. The only numbers I found are DT 75 and I think the model number is 07501011574, at least that is what is found on the motor. Also, can he change the carbs to an 85 hp and will that do anything for him?

Thx in adavance everyone!
