Great video ,I am in Canada, Nova Scotia and I have a 2004 Johnson15 hp that is actually a Suzuki. It is exactly the same as the one in the video except it has a carburator. This is an amazing motor and it is almost 20 years old.. only problem i have with it is that it can be very hard to start in the cold on the first start of the day but after that it goes on half a pull.. I am looking a getting a 15 Suzuki but electric start this time.. Thanks
Thanks for the video, am thinking of buying the electric start version 15HP. However I have heard that the new higher Ethanol fuel E10 can play havoc with the fuel injectors of water gets into them, is there a water separator on the engines, are they needed or what type of fuel stabiliser or corrosion inhibitor do you use or recommend?
I don't and won't use e10 , for a couple of pennies more your performance and longevity will be better for using E5 do some research to which is the best E5 in your area Esso or Tesco momentum seems to be the highest oct99 round my way , it's probably less than a £ per tank to use a quality e5..there is a water separator built into these, Ethanol attracts water anyway temperature change creates condensation so storage is key also
I changed my oil and I found a copper washer in the bottom of the waste oil, it is not leaking now as far as I can see and I am changing the oil again after 2 or 3 days about 100 miles it does not seem to be leaking and I am going to try to make it two or three days and then change the oil again and I can put that copper washer back on then, thoughts?
hi any chance you know is this engine can charge 12v battery because I have 9.9 we made 20hp runs perfect just need charging battery for fish finder and livescope
I drained the oil from the Suzuki DF15 after about 10 hours. I left it in the bottle and after a few days a white precipitate formed from the oil at the bottom, a lot of it. What could it be and what cause could it be? New engine, only 10 hours old I also see that at high speeds, white smoke comes out of this nozzle near the cooling water nozzle
I've seen those white particles you're on about and I asked the local marine guy she said what I was thinking maybe fuel or condensation .. fuel would be my guess even if stored, transported on its side ,tilted on the transom oil and fuel can still mix a little . The nozzle is the first exhaust and cooling outlet sounds like u burnt fuel ? What fuel you using
@@sibfishingadventuresuk1558 It is precipitated from the oil, white like an emulsion, when I shake it, it mixes with the oil. I don't see any filings in it, just white goo. But when I was pumping it, it was strange that the oil was so cloudy. I used E10 PB95 fuel for the first time. We only have E5 PB 98, but they told me to use regular ones. Although I would prefer E5 PB98 The engine only worked for 6 hours and something precipitated while removing the oil. And I transport it lying down for 1 hour and hang it on the transom.
@@sibfishingadventuresuk1558 Suzuki wrote to me to pour E10 PB95, it's a new fuel, but we still have E5 PB98, but Suzuki claims that the engine may overheat with it because I would also prefer to pour PB98E5. So, for this new PB98 E5 engine? I transport it lying down with the sticker up, so as the seller recommends, it can't be the reason that the fuel is getting somewhere?
They are threatening me that the head gasket may be damaged. It's a new engine, so I would probably have to be unlucky to buy one because it was visible after the first swim after 6 hours. And why do I see slight smoke coming from the pipe at the back of the engine at higher revs?

Just followed this video step by step & have now got a fully serviced motor for just the cost of the parts. Thank you mate !

Did you turn the shaft counterclockwise when looking down the shaft when sliding the bowl over the impeller? Or doesn't it matter?
Excellent video just about to order a kit for mines where did you get the computer cable from ?
Hi thank you I got it from suzuki directly but I have seen them on ebay with the software program

@@sibfishingadventuresuk1558 thanks for the quick response and advice 👍
Can you put the link of the kit in your description is it the same for a 20 horse

Tbh I've several motors that I've serviced and very few have the copper washers on.. just a precaution

it does have a charger port but tbh I've. It tested that to see if it's egulator rectified I will check that out

E10 will be the problem.. it attracts moisture, e5 97 is better than any E10

how did you connect your lap top to motors
With the data cable but need the software also .. I'll try share link to stay cable

Dont bother to change airfilter on full service?
Most boats do not have an air filter because there is very little dust if at all on the water. All these motors have is a flame arrestor.
Anode?
