    Mercury SmartCraft Gauges / Harness / Junction Box

    Hey All- I recently came into a 2003 Mercury Optimax. Seems clean, good condition, running great. It came with some SmartCraft gauges, a tachometer and a spedometer. However I think I am missing a harness or something that's needed to get them connected. The motors were previously running...

    1987 DT200 Piston Rings

    Has anyone replaced the piston rings on a 1980's model Suzuki DT200 / DT150 ? I have a 1987 DT200 that has lost all compression on 2 cylinders. All others are 105 PSI on the money. I am assuming it's the piston rings. I was able to get the heads off, but it looks like getting at the...

    Powerhead Experience with old model DT200?

    Hi All- I've got a 1986 (I believe) Suzuki DT200- The motor has been absolutely fantastic for so many years, but I think she's on her last leg. I've brought her back from the brink of death several times and I'm hoping to pull off one last miracle. Here's the situation: On our last trip...

    DT Oil Pump / Lines bleed procedure

    Hi All- Has anyone ever bled the oil injection system on a Suzuki DT200 (I believe DT150 is the same)? I have the manual and I am able to locate the oil pump and the bleed screw. I have two main questions.. First .. how in the world are you supposed to have access to the bleeder screw while...

    DT200 Tachometer doesn't match rpm?

    DT200 rev limiter

    I have a 1989 or possibly a 1988 Suzuki DT200. It has been a great motor for many years and today I had a strange problem. Two problems maybe. I don't know if they are related. First the starboard side water temp light came on and the alarm was also sounding periodically. The port side was...

    Video - 1986 DT200 - How does it sound to you?

    Hey Phil, I'm not sure that it won't go any higher than that, I just didn't give it much more throttle than that .. it just "felt" or "sounded" to me like that was about as top end as I should safely get. I've read lots of people saying things like "Oh, you're under propped" or "You need a...

    Video - 1986 DT200 - How does it sound to you?

    Howdy, I have a 1986 DT200 that I've been tinkering with for about the last 2 months or so. The boat and motor sat neglected for many years before I picked it up and starting trying to bring it back to life. I did all the usual stuff I could think of (and I'm a total novice, so I'm not sure...
