Hi, I have just aquired a 2004 Suzuki dt 2.2 outboard. Does anyone know if you can download an owners manual for these? I'd also like to replace the water pump impeller, has anyone any advice on where it is and how best to do it?

many thanks
 
The Suzuki D.T2.2 outboard manual is pretty useless for any serious maintenance jobs;a "take it to a dealer " is the offering there. The impeller is behind the propellor when you remove it and a slide on fit,they suggest replacement annually or 200 hours. The plugs recommended are NGK BR5HS and gapped 0.6-0.7mm (or 0.024 -0.028ins) Gear Oil is SAE90 Hypoid, and fuel mix is 100-1.
Serial Number is on top of the bracket. The two small holes at the aft top of the leg are the exhaust water holes; provided water is spurting out of them the engine is working OK, very little, but keep the holes unblocked.
The engine does not start easily with any choke applied, until very cold weather. Engine must be mounted vertically on the transom.
The fuel filter is immediately below the tank and part of the fuel cock assembly.
Very reliable engine when flushed in fresh water after use, and fuel drained(used up); can be laid on its side OK unlike the 4strokes, which have to be laid on one side only. If you really want a manual the Part No is 99011-94D36-051 and is printed in 8 languages. Make a note of your Serial Number for insurance/theft identification, they are a sought after motor by the baddies.

Thanks very much, just the info I needed. I'm quite surprised that Suzuki don't make all their owners manuals available online, most other manufacturers do now.

Cheers
 
If you want it to last, run it on 50:1, not 100:1. The manual states 100:1 for leisure use, and 50:1 for commercial use. The dealer who sold me mine also told me to use 50:1.

Also, the water tell-tale at the top/back of the leg does not emit a jet of water, it emits a fine spray. You have to hold your hand near it to see if it gets wet. That is normal behaviour. Mine has done it since new, and again, the dealer explained that this was normal when he sold it to me. The dealer was not a cowboy, but one of the biggest (Oakley's).
 
I agree with MonniotC.

100:1 is ok for light use but the big trouble comes if you do not fog it out when laying up at the end of the season. If you just abandon it until the spring, like many people do, you risk finding it seized up if it was only run on 100:1. (That's the main reason I believe that Johnson and Evinrude returned to 50:1 after a brief flirtation with 100:1 in the late 1980s)

Many/most of the smallest outboards do not have a telltale/peehole in the cooling system so all you see is a few droplets or a fine mist or spray from the exhaust back pressure relief port.
 
Same here. 50:1 for me. Also mine gives very little water from the telltale (and has from new). Slightly more at low revs than high revs but still very little.
 
Just bringing one of these back to life - it's had very little use since new (and on fresh water when it was used), but it's not been used for many years. It started OK after a fuel flush and checking that it wasn't seized, but I'm concerned about water flow as in the above comments. There is a very slight mist, but not much. Has anyone flushed the water system out? Looks like you should be able to inject water into the small hole behind the impeller (having removed it of course), but having done this, nothing comes out of the small holes where the mist is emitted.
 
Only a tiny bit comes out of mine but it runs ok. Not sure if there is a thermostat that restricts flow.
When I got mine several years ago I stripped it down and cleaned a load of salt out of the water ways but it made no difference to the flow which was minuscule before and after. I just use mine now and have stopped worrying
