yes you are right... common problem, when i bought my df60a it had salt in all the same places, next time you service its a good idea to get a spray bottle of hot water and spray it around the motor to dissolve the salt
hi Ricky thank you for your response in your concerns well I found the information I was looking 4 in a manual that covered the routing of the hoses thank you very much
I've been working on my motorcycles with shaft drive for many years. I always remove the top screw first to make sure it is not stripped or broken before draining the gear lube out the bottom. That way you'll have lube inside if you have to take it to a shop. If you open the bottom first and can't open the top, you'll be in worse shape. Every video I've seen of the outboard lower unit oil change, has the person opening the bottom first. Any reason for that other than the oil will come out faster with the top open? Thanks, enjoy your videos!
Hi Mate, hows it? Yeah, the reason is when you take the bottom one first it doesnt fly out the oil. While you unscrew the top one it slowly starts flowing out. But you have a valid point there though. Cheers for the message.
hi it's Dan again with the Suzuki df70 thank you for your response by the way I appreciate it I have another question the problem was water was being pumped into the crankcase my question is how do I get all that water out of the crankcase thank you
Hi mate hows it? Yeah man. No problem at all. Just use the specs accordingly to where you live. I use 10W-40, the 40 means max outside temperature. If you are in colder areas you can use lower, something like 10W-30. I use Castrol Magnatec Fully Synthetic which is a high quality grade oil. Hope that helps. Cheers
Correct. I do spray all the block every couple of months as well. And outside I use a cheaper version and spray after every use specially in those hidden parts near the Clutch Rod.
I have a 1999 Suzuki df70 recently I did some maintenance on the water separator and after that I noticed I'm getting water in the motor oil I think maybe I criss cross some of the water hoses but not sure I did do a compression check all four cylinders checked out just fine what do you suggest that you thank you
where am I at right now is I have routed all the water hoses according to the manual I still get water in the crank immediately turns milk White and just floods the oil with water immediately and it turns milky white immediately
