Fogg 427 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I’ve inherited a small 4-stroke O/B - think it’s 7hp Suzuki. It has spent at least a month not just on its side but tipped closer to vertical. It hasn’t leaked any fluids and it’s not upright again. Is it usable? What checks or servicing required?

Deep Purple 512 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Bought a Suzuki 4 stroke 6hp (same engine) this year and it can be placed any way but on its back according to the manual. I know some of the older yammys and Honda's were on the handle side only. try downloading a manual if is older than a year or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What checks or servicing required? the manual for my Suzuki 2.5 says transport on handle side down only and has this warning I suggest placing your motor on a stand (in my case a piece of 6 x 2 in the Workmate's jaws), pull the plugs and turn it over a few times to make sure there is no oil in the cylinders. Then while you are at it drain/suck the old engine oil out and add new oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
