I received the carburetor kit I ordered months ago.
GD Mikuni.
These have to be the worst pile of junk made. Even worse, I had to order a complete $40 (overpriced) kit just to get a single small o-ring that should be available for less than $1.
Unfortunately, Mikuni made certain to use a nonstandard size o-ring, so that none of them in my ethanol resistant o-ring assortment will fit. Also, the o-rings supplied by Mikuni in their kits are not ethanol resistant.
I tell you now, you couldn't run fast enough to give me another Suzuki outboard.
And I'm old, fat and can barely walk.
This 25 HP, although it runs fine as a motor, is insanely expensive for every part for it.
I'm currently manually lifting and lowering the motor because the power trim/tilt ram was leaking, it can't be repaired, and must be replaced complete. Almost $2000 for the ram and pump when the entire motor assembly with the lift and controls was only $3500 new.
My recommendation is that if you are considering a new small motor, look anywhere but the Suzuki dealer.
