Mac's Machines

Following my passion for interesting cars, engines, machines (including the odd tractor, traction engine or boat etc) and all things engineering (with a just few random things thrown in for good measure like a mechanical calculator, 17th Century cannons).

(Video Shorts now about having a bit fun with the longer format video’s for more of a proper look at things.)

    I have had nothing but trouble with my Suzuki df2.5 which I have had from new for about 4 years (about 30 hours use). The motor exhaust valve got stuck causing the push rod to fall out of position. The dealer was able to fix this without taking everything apart. I have had a lot of trouble getting the outboard to start and it kicks back like a mule. Recently I decided to investigate myself - I found the spark plug was incorrectly gapped (at over 1mm). This was factory supplied so a quality control issue. The service dealer had also overfilled the oil which did not help either. I replaced the spark plug and removed excess oil and for the first time it starts second pull. Maybe it’s OK now, however, I would not recommend this outboard after all my trouble with it.

    I owned a 1989 turbo like this in white but in the final and updated version, bought it in 1991, had it for seven years and loved it. Comfortable, big boot and roomy interior. Things that let it down was torque steer under heavy acceleration and brakes faded quickly under heavy braking. Sold it in 1998 and even though I really looked after it, the rust had started forming on the rear wheel arches.

    Does the type of oil currently being used matter? Some additives can only be used in 100% synthetic. Sounds like good stuff. Use it in the fuel though?

  • @MacsMachines
    @MacsMachines3 ай бұрын

    Told one issue with this stuff is the oil base it’s in is not great! but that was just on an internet search so not sure if that’s true (but could be plausible I guess). I suspect the very best oils don’t need additives at all…(mobile 1, Castrol Edge etc)
