    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    Update: Got her working. Figured out the water pipe going up to the head was not seating in the water pump. The rubber grommet/seal was on the pipe rather than seated in the water pump outlet. I took it off the pipe, seated it in the pump housing, stab the lower unit, and voila! Water pissing...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    Update: Thanks for everyone’s help so far. I replaced the impeller and no help. It will run perfect. Got it in a tank. Still no water at the taletale. Kind of at a loss. One thing I haven’t done is shoot some high pressure air in the hole but I will do that tomorrow at work since my air...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    I tried the weed wacker line and it’s hard to tell if water is coming out of the propeller because it’s seems to be leaking a little around the muffs and kind of going everywhere.Thanks for your help.

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    Okay, another question which may be relevant to all this. When I run it with muffs on there is white smoke coming out at the propeller. Could this be a bad head gasket (or worse) and the reason I’m not getting water peeing out because it’s going into the cylinder? Motor will run, idle, and rev...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    I think when I first started it it was spitting a little water out but not a stream but just a few minutes later, no water at all. I bought from a guy that said he had been running it a lot. I guess I knew better than take his word that it had no problems. Not sure how old the impeller is but it...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    1981 Suzuki DT9.9 no water at pee hole. Impeller looks good, correct curvature on blades. I can blow air in pee hole and hear it at bottom of lower unit. All clear from water inlet (on lower unit) up to the water pump. Water pump and gasket are lined up with water pump opening slot. I can run...

    1981 Suzuki DT9.9 water pump issue

    Just got to thinking about this: the curvature of the impeller blade should probably arc in the opposite direction of the direction the shaft turns. So that they make a cupping type shape to push the water up. Maybe I have it tuned the wrong way. Thanks for all your help. If this doesn’t work...

    1981 Suzuki DT9.9 water pump issue

    So there are two water inlets on the side of the lower unit that lead right to the opening beneath the water pump impeller. They are clear all the up to the impeller. Then there is some type of water inlet on the bottom of the flat fin like piece. It has a tube that runs up just beneath the side...

    1981 Suzuki DT9.9 water pump issue

    Well my air compressor is not working but I tried some weed eater line. I can run the engine for 3-5 minutes and the head temp is around 210-220 with a laser thermometer. It took it 5 minutes to get to that temp. I’m just going off car temps and seems ok but what is too hot?

    1981 Suzuki DT9.9 water pump issue

    I bought a used 1981 (I believe by serial #) Suzuki DT 9.9. It runs fine but I don’t see it peeing water. I pulled the lower unit and and the impeller was like new (turned the drive shaft clockwise to make sure and set the blades in the right curvature). There is a tiny hole at the rear of the...

    Johnson 2R76S 2 hp won’t start

    Thanks for your help! (Update) I got the carb back together and it still won’t start and run. If I remove the spark plug and squirt some fuel in the cylinder it will fire and run for a few seconds. So I know I have a fuel issue. I got a kit from Amazon and rebuilt the carb, new fuel lines and...

    Johnson 2R76S 2 hp won’t start

    I have a 76 Johnson 2 hp I am rebuilding carb on. I removed the two needles for lean/rich at idle and fast. Now I can’t remember which one goes where. One is fine thread and one is course but they match the brass nuts that I also removed. One is a little longer than the other. Can anybody help...

    Runs but won't start

    Thanks, I'll have to look at the carb again and make sure I got the side passage. I don't remember seeing that. Fuel is getting to the carb. Good info. Thanks!

    Runs but won't start

    Yes the filter and the tank valve are clean. Also, I just used one of those cheap spark testers from Harbor Freight.

Then would not start again. I can squirt fuel in the cylinder and it will start and run til it burns that...
