Suzuki 2hp Tell Tale

Hi

Picked up an 85 DT2 Suzuki 2Hp Outboard. Appears to have very lows hours (paint is unscathed). Problem is that fuel was not drained and the interior metal of the carb has been etched. She starts up though and runs. Looks like a new carb would be a solution. The bigger issue though, where in the heck is does the water spit out? Had the little gem flashed up for a few seconds in a garbage can and could not see tell tale. Thanks Johnny

Hi again

1. When I lived in Dartmouth a few years ago I had a nice chainsaw ripped off. Did that happen to be you Dry?

2. If I was going to steal anything from Nova Scotia, I'd make it count and steal something nice like a Donelle Northumberland Straights Lobster Boat.

3. The float bowl of the suzuki Carb is so badly etched, it ate right thru the metal and I used POR-15 to temporarily plug it up. A 35 year veteran mechanic said that he has never seen a carb so badly messed up and he thinks it was water in the gas that reacted with the white metal. I need a new float bowl or a new carb. Just missed one on ebay for $15.00.

4. Can anybody tell me for sure if the Tell Tale is under the engine head? Maybe mine is plugged.

Cheers

Johnny

Why replace the carb? A bit of etching in the metal shouldn't hurt anything, just clean it out well.

Does it have a telltail? Look closely at the underside of the power head, a hole should be obvious if it has one.

Bad luck. Nothing like that ever happens around the Halifax clubs! Don
