Suzuki DT40

Doesn't miss a beat
Now 7 years old, my DT40 hasn't missed a beat. Serviced every two years just fill it up and go. Quicksilver oil has worked fine. My DT40 starts first time on cold starts at the ramp, just give it revs and choke. Not the most fuel efficient or quiet motor but it is a two-stoke and a good option if you are after something cost-effective and reliable. Saying that tho, I would always recommend a 4-stroke over a two stroke especially at 40HP and above due to efficiency and convenience with refuelling.

Remove the carb, float bowl, float, fuel inlet valve, lower main jet, top idle jet and air screw. Blast it out with compressed air. Check the small holes on the jets for debris - the usual cause of idle problems.
Reassemble with the air screw 1.75 turns out and use the idle...Read more
screw to get revs right. Mess about with small adjustments whilst the motor is running. Renew plugs regularly and keep leads clean and sprayed with water repellant. Keep gear oil clean and watch for any sign of creamyness - water getting into oil. Change oil seal if this happens.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
