[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 353248, member: 7376"] Does Suzuki have overheat protection? I know nothing of them. On many of the Yamaha's if the engine reaches a certain temperature, it will reduce RPM to about 2500 to help keep it from self-destructing. If your new zuke has that feature, then it generally won't hurt itself, even if a greenhorn tech forgets to run water through the muffs.... Again, never messed with suzuki's stuff. Yamaha's crank seals are simple fix on the smaller motors. Remove powerhead, remove seal plate, replace seal, reassemble. Only done one in 22 years; and it wasn't the factory's fault. Another shop attempted an "overhaul" and did a pretty poor job. That was a 25 4 stroke 1998 model IIRC. Took about 2 hours start to finish best I remember. oops...2 seals in 22 years. The other one was a 2 stroke 25 hp that exhibited classic signs of an air leak, lower cylinder not running, etc....pulled powerhead, seal was just flopping around. Easy fix. Under an hour, best I can remember. [/QUOTE]
