Received the new Suzuki 20 hp fuel injected motor. Was suppose to be at house between 1and5 pm and didn't show until 6:30. It had some crate damage I didn't notice until later in the evening. When I unpackaged it I found the motor cover was not in place and had a small crack in it. You really have to know where it is to see it. None the least I am going to turn in a claim. Started up on second pull, but no water coming out of pee hole. I was getting pissed, pun intended. Ran a water hose to the flush out and it started to pee and has ever since. Guess it must of had an air lock. Ran it 15 minutes at idle and gave it some gas and it sputtered and wouldn't accelerate. Oh crap, now what! Finally figured out if you put it in gear it would run great. Must have a lock out to keep from raping it out in neutral. No mention of that in manual. Speaking of manual, it calls the A/V plate the cavitation plate. Installed the Hardline tach/hour meter, easiest install ever. Will try it out Monday.
