Suzuki Outboard Carburetors & Components FAQ

Is winterizing my Suzuki outboard engine important?

Properly winterizing your Suzuki outboard engine is the best way to prevent damage during the offseason from both lack of use and cold winter temperatures — depending on where you live. It also helps you with a smooth start to the beginning of next season.

There are six basic steps to a proper winterization of your Suzuki outboard engine:

• Thoroughly flush your engine with fresh water
• Stabilize the entire fuel system with fuel stabilizers
• Fog your engine
• Change the spark plugs
• Change the lower unit oil
• Disconnect your lead acid batteries
• Cover your engine with a fitted Suzuki outboard cover

With your engine properly winterized, there shouldn’t be any harmful debris or materials in the engine components that can cause damage over the off-season months. Plus, with new spark plugs, oil, and fluids, your Suzuki outboard should start up right away when boating season starts in the spring or Summer.

For a more in-depth look at how to winterize your Suzuki outboard engine, take a look at “How To Winterize a 4-Stroke Suzuki Outboard Motor” from the PartsVu Xchange. And of course, you can find all the winterization products you need at PartsVu.com to simplify the process.

What are common Suzuki outboard engine fuel system issues?

One of the most common ways your Suzuki outboard motor will break down is a fuel system failure. Whether you’re experiencing an intermittent bog down, poor performance, or complete engine failure, your fuel system is a common culprit.

1. Ethanol gasoline: Only use premium low-ethanol gasoline for your Suzuki outboard motor. The reason is that ethanol attracts water, causing fuel to dilute through “phase separation.” Additionally, ethanol gasoline can also gunk up fuel lines and fuel system components due to additives used. To help prevent these issues, regularly use a high-quality fuel stabilizer and other Suzuki fuel additives (such as Suzuki ECSTAR Fuel Conditioner & Water Remover).
2. Fuel lines: Check your fuel lines. If you discover any breaks or leaks, you should stop using the engine and make any necessary replacements. Also, take a look at any fuel hoses with an interior liner.
3. Fuel filters: The Suzuki fuel filter is designed to catch any debris and contaminants that have entered your fuel system. Regularly replace your fuel filters to keep fuel running freely.
4. Fuel pump: A malfunctioning Suzuki fuel pump can significantly reduce engine performance and, over time, severely damage other components. If your fuel pump is not working correctly, replace it and any hoses that may have been affected.

How do I fog my Suzuki outboard engine? 

Fogging oil is a wax-based oil that coats the engine, removes carbon deposits, and prevents corrosion. Fogging your Suzuki outboard is a smart move for winterization, as water deposits and other harmful corrosives (including leftover fuel) can eat away at the metals in the outboard engine. (Read “How To Winterize a 4-Stroke Suzuki Outboard Motor” about winterization)

As you work through this process, you’ll understand why this process is called fogging, as the engine will produce plenty of white smoke to indicate that the oil has worked its way through your engine. 

Because you will not be in the water while performing this task, you will need to use a motor flusher to keep the engine cooled at a safe operating temperature while you complete the fogging process. Follow the Flush Your Outboard with the Engine Running procedures detailed above.

Before fogging your Suzuki outboard engine, you’ll need the following:

• Fogging oil
• Crescent wrench 
• Replacement spark plugs
• Motor flusher 
• Garden hose
• Water supply

Begin by either removing your engine’s air cleaner to gain access to the carburetors or cylinder air intakes. 

Once you have access to the carburetors or cylinder air intakes, disconnect the fuel line. The purpose of this is that the fogging oil forms a barrier against any new gas, while also removing the old fuel.

Rev the engine to a bit above idle, and with the engine running, spray the fogging oil into the carburetor(s) or air intake of each cylinder. You may need an assistant to spray the oil or rev the engine depending on how your Suzuki outboard is mounted. 

Continuously spray fogging oil into your engine’s carburetors or cylinder air intake until the engine stalls. Be sure to spray a coating of fogging oil into each cylinder or carburetor. Don’t spray too much oil at once and kill the engine immediately, but after a continuous spray, the engine will eventually stall. This is precisely what you want, and the stalling indicates that the engine is thoroughly covered with fogging oil. 

Next, use your crescent wrench to remove the spark plugs and spray fogging oil into each cylinder. Turn the flywheel with a crescent wrench to move the cylinders allowing you to coat each cylinder wall entirely. Alternatively, you can also simply start the engine for just a few seconds to allow the fogging oil to coat the cylinder walls. Repeat this process a couple of times to be sure that you’ve adequately coated each cylinder.

Last, replace old spark plugs with new Suzuki spark plugs so that you are ready to go in the spring.

How do I perform a 100-hour service on my Suzuki outboard engine?

To ensure proper engine function, it’s always best to service your Suzuki outboard engine every 100 hours after the initial break-in period (first 10 hours) and after the first maintenance interval (at 20 hours). 

The following is a Suzuki outboard 100-hour service checklist to help you service your engine properly:
