Old but Gold SUZUKI DT5 (Some maintenance and TLC)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- I have this old 2 stroke #Suzuki DT5 outboard as a backup on my #Reinel 2250. It rescued me once already when the main shaft snapped on original #OMC 235 outdrive. But it was running awfully and something was wrong with the prop shaft bearing. In this video I show my failures and successes while doing maintenance on Suzuki DT5.
It is called a cotter pin ... but keep is a good approximation for sure! I love that you make the gaskets, even with a punch, like it should be. That clutch dog looked a bit worn too. But, you are the master of keeping everything ship shape!
Thanks! Cotter pin... I'll forget it for sure :)
It's winter and snowy out here. Watching this video makes me want to get out in the garage and get to work on my Force 50. I had a Suzuki 8hp for my kicker on my Canaventure. Great little motor. The pickup boxes for deliveries are something we don't have here. Cool idea.
Thanks for a comment. It’s winter with snow here too. Just that footage is from last spring :) Post machines are the great invention! We have may be 4 companies of this service competing here.
Great video and it is very helpful. While disassembling the water pump, I paid no attention and I now have no idea in what direction the arms of the impeller should point!? Can you help me out please? Thank you.
Thank you! Usually vertical shaft turns clock vice (when looking from the top). So impeller arms gets to their place while correctly rotating the shaft with impeller and pushing pump housing down on it. Good luck with the repair!
@@Dasiukas Great, thank you for answering that prompt. BTW: the casing needs 240 ml of SAE 90 oil. Ciao.
I love that when the gasket slipped, you said "ship" heh heh can swear in english! Funny the things I take for granted in Idaho. Can get those plastic gaskets for the oil change in a day, the pump to put in from the bottom bolt at the local auto, and the seals (with stainless springs) in a few days. You have Amazon? Does shipping take a long time, or is it expensive? But, it is wonderful watching you improvise, on something I kind of take for granted. Now, I never thought a little 5hp would push your big boat. And, I have several small outboards (3, 5, 8, 9.9 15 hp). And, I've had problems on the lake several times, and had to have a nice stranger tow me back to a dock. So, maybe I'll throw a 5hp somewhere in the boat, and put it on if times get tough. I don't have a mount though, and would have to rig something on one of the ladders.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, those propane bottle gaskets are of good material but too big. I could get proper gaskets here locally from an on line store. But you know... You are working on something and don't want to wait for a few days to get a "shippy" part worth a few cents. Amazon is a world wide but I use it rarely as shipping takes too long (depends of where to ship from of course). If to ship from USA it takes from about 2 weeks to 2 months (that's not by Amazon but generally speaking). It is difficult to find American parts here. But... even though Suzuki is made in Japan, buying a bearing from the US was the cheapest. About a small outboard on my big boat. It could be too small in tough conditions. But generally it push my boat at a speed like you paddle a dinghy. Wow! You've got a bunch of outboards! And yes, you can get help from a nice stranger if you are not alone in that part of a lake. And yes, now are the times of civilization. You can just use your mobile phone and call for help. That small Suzuki backup outboard haven't been started since that maintenance time (for 1.5 year already). May be I should check it if it still runs in spring. I know that my English is not perfect and that I lack words. I like that you understand my made up words. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks! And, your English is great! Yes, I went from no outboards to a bunch, because my friend inherited a 12' aluminum boat, and his didn't run properly. They don't cost much over here, maybe $200, which is almost the cost of one part ... so I accidentally started collecting a few, as they pop up. I have 2 Yamaha 8 hp, one 2 stroke, one 4 stroke, and they are real nice and quiet and run great, but cost a little more than the cheap ones (mostly Johnson/Evenrude which are very common around my home).@@Dasiukas
@@bennyblanko3 I bought that Suzuki for 200€ here. And it was quite maintained and clean. Some parts with signs of wear, but good overall. And after all my efforts it sits in stern part of Big Mamma under the cushion for 1.5 years already. Waiting for be used 😀
Question. How do you fill the gear oil? You removed the very top (oil) plug and the very bottom… do I remove the second plug from the bottom and fill from the oil hole until it comes out that second hole from the bottom? Please let me know, thanks
Thanks for watching. I filled through the very top hole (as I had no oil pump) and that is not so very correct way to fill oil. Usually you fill through the bottom drain hole using an oil pump untill the oil starts flowing from the upper (very top) hole. Then you plug the upper hole and after that disconnect your oil pump and close the bottom hole with the plug also.
Hi I've been watching over and over many times as I can't get my gears in right order I've no snapped bottom part like the new part you got reverse gear housing broken mine when tighting one of the bolts. Can you please tell me the part number and where I can get one ill be most thankfull for your help. Kind regards. John.
Hi, John. It’s just half past midnight here but I’ll check the part number for you tomorrow. I just googled for it and went through all possible places they could offer the part. Chose the best price…
@Dasiukas thank you so much. I've been looking for the litter pin same one you lost been hours looking from can't understand how it can be lost it fell to the floor in front of. It's mad. Be most thank for your help. Goodnight look forward to hearing from you.
@@johnwilliams7269 So... Housing with bearing and with seal (mine was without o-ring). This complete part No. is 56110-98502-02M. I was lucky to find it for $28.60 but the total price with shipping and all the fees was about $53. That small part lost by me and by you too is (as specified in the catalog Fig 17, ref. No. 16) a PIN, push. It has a part No. 57632-98500. It is the simplest part in the whole outboard 😀. I had already made that part completely from scratch, but then I found it inside the gear case. It is not very precise. Just use a part of a drill bit of the corresponding diameter. Cut off a piece from the shank the same length as diameter. Make sure that cut off end is clean and perpendicular (you can put it in to the drill and sand the end while spinning). The spring will compensate an inaccuracy. If you give me your email, I could send you the part catalogue. But I just searched a little and found it here: www.brownspoint.com/pdf/DT5(83).pdf That one is for 1983 model. And for the other year models check this: www.brownspoint.com/t-bpmodel.aspx?modelId=29 Good luck with your repair! Have a nice time on the water!
@@johnwilliams7269 I can see your comment 10 h ago and this one “did you get my reply…” only
@johnwilliams7269 I see your 3-rd time :)
