How can I replace the thermostat in a Suzuki DF25A outboard.
I hope this helps someone because there is such a lack of helpful info/examples online for these little motors. Pretty simple once you remove the Air intake casing (2 screws). Thermostat is in this highlighted circle (Starboard side of motor)
My suzuki outboard motor don't start. No spark. Where do i start to find the problem?
K. All outboards from the 1980's out have a built in kill switch. The most common problem for your issue is the shifter cable ( the one that puts you into forward ,neutral, or reverse) is stretched and you are not quite in neutral and are tripping the built in kill switch. Depending on the engine you will either not have anything happening when you turn the key or you will have zero spark or both. It is there to keep you from flying off the boat if you leave it in gear and forget. ... the second is corroded ground or loose ground on the engine or the battery. And third is a blown fuse at the engine end. To check if the problem is your shifter cable , just detach it from the engine and manually place it in neutral by grabbing the shift leaver located on the motor then try starting it again. If thats the issue then adjust the cable and order a new one and have it on stand by.. Throttle cable also. Both usually need to be replaced at the same time.
