Man what a cool little engine. I’ve been looking at this one. Just so you know when you’re pouring the oil turn the spout part of the oil container up. It should be on the top side and the oil will pour more smoothly. Great video buddy, I hope you’re enjoying your little engine.
Great light weight little outboard. The kick back on trying to start it is annoying. All small Suzuki outboards seem to do it - and it can hurt! Good video.
When filling the oil, the manual says fill to the upper level of dipstick. The upper level is NOT 0.7L. 0.7l is the capacity of the tank. When i bought the engine, dealer said to fill it up to 0.7l, DO NOT do that, fill to upper level of oil stick.
Remember...never ever store it with pump gas in it. Use ASPEN fuel or simulare fuel before store it (last few liters). Else that carburator will go bad..
@@MrMeltedwellies I just bought one. Will be breaking it in for the next couple of days in a barrel. I have a great source for it, and always run ethanol-free gas in my engines that have a carburetor, especially outboards. If I couldn't get it though, I would be looking for something sold in a can, like VP Fuel or something similar.
Thanks for the "review", i have just acquired 2 of these as part of a yacht deal. Just a point or two... Your description of how a 4-stroke work is far from correct... Your explanation of the purpose of the anode is also 100% wrong!
My problem with all the Suzuki small engines(below 25 hp) is they don’t have a hose connection to flush the motor if you operate in salt water. You have to use a bucket under the prop to flush. How stupid are their engineers?

J'avais besoin de ces infos car je vais en acheter un dans quelques jours. Merci de vos explications 😊

Mark el mejor explicando, felicidadesssss
Thank you so much. I love to listen to your voice of explanation. Watching from Marudi Sarawak
So nice of you thank you so much
You forgot to show how to make the motor trim up and down . I figured it out finally. Thanx for the video.
Sorry about that
Thank you Mark. I'm going to bay the same outboard.
Good choice George

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching Justin
About where in the window should the oil level be?
I hope they have fixed there sticking exhaust valve issues in the latest editions???? BTW makesure it get full throttle! 💯👍🏼
THANKS AWESOME 💚😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
HI, I''m new in marine motors, I have in mind to buy one of those,. Thank you for the great information you provided, regards from Canada !!!
Welcome aboard thanks for watching and comment
fully recommend suzuki
Very nice !
Thank you very much!
The zinc annode on the side corrodes instead of any of the alloys on the motor. It's sacrificial and will deplete over time. Great video thanks.
Thanks for the tips!

Totally agree James
They seem to be setup to run very lean. Mine also has the same kickback, worse in hot weather.
I am offered a 2016 demo model. So you know if there is any significant differences between the 2022 and the 2016 model?
Just got one. Lovely little thing. Any idea where the oil filter is? Says to change it after 20h but doesn’t even show it in the manual.
don't think it has a oil filter just drain and refill
When filling the oil, the manual says fill to the upper level of dipstick. The upper level is NOT 0.7L. 0.7l is the capacity of the tank. When i bought the engine, dealer said to fill it up to 0.7l, DO NOT do that, fill to upper level of oil stick.
Upper level of oil stick is 0,7L. I just checked.
A piece of paper rolled up makes a quick disposable funnel.
What, new engine and that oil mud, is not acceptable where the funnel is? Enyoy it...
What site did you buy the outboard from?
Thanks
ebay
Will the tohatsu 6 HP motors be almost the same ???
yes
@@MrMeltedwelliesno, the Mercury is the clone of the tohatsu
Щуп не нужно закручивать, он просто опускается и всё
Thank You
You're welcome
Why 10W-30.....Suzuki recommends the use of SAE 10W-40 !!!
IN VERY COLD WEATHER (below 5°C / 41°F) use SAE 5W-30
Bro calm down
9:39 shows 10w-30 is ok too
Remember...never ever store it with pump gas in it. Use ASPEN fuel or simulare fuel before store it (last few liters). Else that carburator will go bad..
Thanks for info

I don't think I saw you put any lube in the bottom chamber of the shaft?!
do you mean gear oil Dale
@@MrMeltedwellies yeah that stuff...
came with it as its a sealed unit
@@MrMeltedwellies it comes ready filled but its definitely not a sealed unit.
@@MrMeltedwellies 😬
Did you put in gearbox oil?
No all ready done
Такой мотор у меня был 6 лет.👍🇷🇺

good point
The DF6A has a hose flush connection
Yeah, too bad. My previous '85 6hp Suzuki had a flush port near the impeller.
Hii
Hi
That motor sounds real bad it starts shaking it might be brand new it doesn't run good
ill give it another go thanks for comment Lee
