As a dedicated '95 Suzuki 2-cycle oil-injection outboard owner, Casey has been the only other person to peer under the engine cowling besides myself since early 2008 -- at a time when qualified NE FL marine mechanics began snubbing their noses up at working on older 2-cycles. And with well over 1500 hours on it now & no signs of aging-out, his annual service call last weekend revealed near-identical cylinder compression of a motor 25 years younger (for starters). With a water pump rebuild, lower unit flush & refill, thermostat & fuel pump filter replacement, sensor systems check, and typical tune-up w/plugs -- it screams like a banshee, and will rock any similar 4-cycle outta the hole... "I love the smell of a 2-cycle in the morning... it smells like victory!" Casey's wealth of knowledge backed by his numerous factory certifications is primarily why I'm confident I'll have no reason to re-power for years to come. Listen to every comment & suggestion he renders -- especially related to quality lubricants, non-ethanol fuel & fuel additives, proper post-saltwater flushing, and if a sensor goes off -- stop immediately... Common sense & experience Casey has in spades, as my 4-cycle friends attest to as well. read more
