Telltale flow Problem now fixed. I found a good local mechanic who was familiar with the problem. He said it is the lower area of the block that gets clogged with salt deposits. He found that he could drill into the water jacket and clear out the salt deposits without having to remove the cylinder head from the block. He claims that this is a common problem with Suzuki outboards that have the oil cooler built into the block. He spent 6 hours working on clearing out the salt deposits. His hourly rate is high but he got the job done.. I just pulled the cover of the motor to check the oil and his work, and couldn't find what he did, I would think I would have to remove the bottom covers to view the lower water jacket area he drilled into and then plugged when done. I also can't find an internal view of the motor anywhere online to verify the location of the cast in oil cooler area he is talking about. As I'm 73 and can't work on this stuff anymore I'm just glad to have everything working 100 percent again.. Anyone have a picture showing the internal area of the block we're talking about?
