I have a 1986 DT 9.9 engine that the thermostat had been removed by the previous owner. I ordered
and received Suzuki thermostat 17670-93962 and I'm not sure how it is installed. It looks like it is
designed to be pushed all the way into the thermostat housing but that looks like it would prevent
any water from entering and I'm not sure how it could be removed as there is nothing to grab onto.
Also, Does anyone have any input on the use of a thermostat in these engines in terms of performance?
Thanks, Karl
