Hi there,
I was wondering if any one could comment on the above engine. Basicly I am going to have a look at a second hand boat tommorow morning with a suzuki 85 hp engine on the back of it. I presume that it's a DT85 and the year being roughly somewhere in the 1980's.
I know this is a bit vague but I just wanted other people's feedback on these particular outboards as I have never owned a suzuki, just mercurys of the same age and earlier and think they are fatastic. How do they compare to Mercs?!
So any thoughts on this DT85?!
Any comments will be much apperciated good or bad.
Many thanks,
Mark.
P.S I will of course be checking compressions on all 3 cylinders, on the mercs I've had anything around 130-140 psi is usualy good so what kind of figures should I be looking for on the DT85?!
