Suzuki DT2 WBRICATION The power head is lubricated by oil mixed with the fueL Fuel:oil ratio should be 30:1 during brea k-in of a new or rebuilt engine. Fuel:oil ratio for nor - mal service is 50: I on models prior to 1987 and 100:1 on 1987 and later models. Recommended oil is Suzuki Out- board Motor Oil or a good quality NMMA certified TC-W oiL When using any oth- er type of two-stroke engine oil, fuel:oil ratios should be 20: I during break -in and 30:1 for normal service. Manufac- turer recommends regular or unleaded automotive ga';oline having an 85-95 oc- tane rating. Gasoline and oil should be thoroughly mixed. The lower unit gears and bearings are lubricated with SAE 90 hypoid outboard gear oil. Lower unit capacity on models priorto 1987 is approximately 40 mL (1.3 oz.). Oil capacity on later models is ap- proximately 70 mL (2.4 oz.) on short drive shaft models and 120 mL (4 .1 oz. ) on long drive shaft. models. On early models (prior to 1987). lay motor on side to fill with oil. Later models are equipped with a vent /oil level check plug on side of gearcase. Reinstall plug securely using a new gasket if necessary to ensure a water tight seal. FUEL SYSTEM CARBURETOR. A Mikuni sliding valve float type carburetor is used . Re- fer to Fig. S21-1 for exploded view. Idle speed should be adjusted after motor has reached normal operating temper- ature. Move speed control to slow speed stop and adjust idle speed screw (14) to obtain idle speed of 800-900 rpm. Note that on 1987 and later models, carbure - tor is equipped with a pilot air screw (Fig. SZI-2) for low speed mixture ad- jus tment. Carburetor with pilot air screw can be identified by the presence of a float bowl drain plug. Initial setting of pilot air scre w is two turns out from a lightly seated position. Final adjust- ment should be made with engine at ope rating temperature and running in forward gear . Adjust pilot air screw so engine idles smoothly and accelerates without hesitation. Main fuel metering is controlled by main jet (20-Fig. SZI-I). Standard main jet size is 1195 for models through 1986 and 1190 for 1987 and later models. Nor- mal position for clip (9) onjet needle (10) is third notch from top of needle. If midrange mixture is too lean or too lich, minor fuel mixture adjustment can be accomplished by repositioning clip on jet needle. Moving clip down on needle richens fuel mixture while moving clip up on needle leans fuel mixture. Fuel filter (17) should be cleaned after eve- ry 50 hours of operation. Th check float level, remove float bowl and invert carburetor. With float in- stalled on float ann (23), float surface nearest main jet should be 19-21 mm (0.748-0.826 in.) away from carburetor gasket surface. Make certain float is lev- el with gasket surface when measuring. Adjust float level by bending float arm tang. When installing carburetor, renew "0" ring (13) as required. IGNITION SYSTEM Breaker point gap should be set to 0.3- 0.4 mm (0.012-0.016 in.) at maximum opening. Adjustment may be accom- plished through holes in flywheel. Fly- wheel must be removed to renew break- er l)oint.~. Tighten flywheel nut to 40-50 N'm (30-37 fUbs .). Fig. SZI-I-Exploded view of c."'urelo, used on models p,'o, 10 1987. On 1987 snd I.

Manufacturer recommends regular or no-lead automotive gasoline having an 85-95 octane rating. Gasoline and oil should be thoroughly mixed. The lower unit gears and bearings are lubricated by approximately 85 mL (2.9 ozs.) of SAE 90 hypoid outboard gear oil. Reinstall vent and fill plugs securely using a new gasket, if necessary. to en- sure a water tight seal. (0 .00 20-0.0026 in .) FUEL SYSTEM CARBURETOR. A Mikuni BV-18-15 carburetor is used. Refer to Fig. SZ2-1 for exploded view. Initial setting of pilot air screw (15) from a lightly seated posi- tion should be 3/.-1 1 /. turns. Final car- buretor adjustment should be made with engine at normal operating temperature and running in forward gear. Adjust throttle stop screw (12) so engine idles at approximately 900-1000 rpm. Adjust pil ot air screw so engine idl es smooth and will accelerate c1eanlv without hesitation. If necessary. readjust throt- tle stop screw to obtain 900-1000 rpm idl e speed. Main fuel metering is controlled by main jet (2). Standard main jet size for normal operation is #90. Standard pilot jet (14) size is #15. (16-25 ft.-Ibs.) To check float level. remove float bowl (7) and invert carburetor body (1). Base of float (6) should be 12-14 rnm (0.47- 0.55 in.) away from sealing ring surface of carburetor body with sealing ring (3) removed. Adjust float level by bending float tang. FUEL PUMP. A diaphragm fuel pump (Fig. SZ2-2) is mounted on the side of power head cylinder blOCk and is actuated by pressure and vacuum pulsa- tions from the engine crankcase. When servicing pump. defective or questionable parts should be renewed. Diaphragm should be renewed if air leaks or cracks are found. or if deterioration is evident. REED VALVE. The reed valve is located in a reed plate that is located •
