Re: suzuki outboard
I am helping a friend do one now, had not been run 2 years. Engine locked up from storage. We had engine running about 1 hour in test tank, locked up again, removed power head, lower bearing roller cage came apart, busted piston and block, about 6/700 US for parts, and this only 1 piston. Water had rusted the bearing, and there is bleeder hose from lower bearing to top bearing, which was ruined.The hose had transfered water from the lower to top bearing. If we had removed the powered head and check and replaced the 2 bearings repair would have been 150 US.
