I have a Suzuki DT65 06502 502849 65hp which I believe is a 1986 motor.
It has 3 cylinders.
Running on water muffs it seems great. Starts easily and goes into gears nicely.
When in the water, as soon as I place it into forward or reverse, it shuts down.
I have been told by Suzuki that this is likely due to bad bearings. I am in the process of tearing it down and opening the power-head.
I have removed the flywheel and found the magneto plate to be clean and looking like new.
My questions are if the bearings are bad then would that cause the upper crank seal to be bad and there be oil (residue) leakage from the upper seal?
and, If the bearings were bad would that cause the crankshaft to have wobble?
Thanks for any assistance.
