Okay, Here we go...I recently got the motor (4HP Suzuki 2 Stroke) from a friend of mine and I don't even have a clue about it. Here is the sn# 00402-461467. First off, What year is it. Second, Where would you get a spare prop for it. (I have looked all over the internet and a couple of local shops here in the DFW) and third, there is a piece of cloth on the front of the carb that if it is taken off, it will not run. (Kinda like the choke is always on) This friend of mine got it from a garage sale a little while back and the previous owners have sinced moved on so the mechanical aspect of it is the biggest mystery of all of the questions I have on it. It is a real clean motor and seems to be in real good shape but the carb situation troubles me. It runs but I don't think it is going to full capacity. Any help on this would be deeply appreciated. :confused:

It's a 1994, any Suzuki dealer will have a prop and your carb needs to be rebuilt.

Before you do anything else, before you even leave this site (see icon at bottom of this page)buy a manual for this motor. All the answers to the questions of the universe are available in the "MANUAL". Oh, and it will also tell you how to fix it when it breaks.

Thank yall for the help and to the 2nd reply, I have already ordered a manual for it. that is why I needed to know whether it was 1984 or 1994 before I proceeded onwards with this project. $34.00 for the wrong manual could pay for a carburetor kit. I personally like the Mercury's better but free is free! :)
