Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected before starting work.
-
Access the Belt: Remove the flywheel cover and any other components obstructing access to the timing belt.
-
Align Timing Marks: Carefully rotate the crankshaft to align the timing marks on the camshaft pulley and the crankshaft pulley with the marks on the engine block.
-
Loosen Tensioner: Loosen the bolt on the belt tensioner (if equipped) to release pressure on the old belt.
-
Remove Old Belt: Carefully slide the old timing belt off the pulleys. Avoid rotating the crankshaft or camshaft during this step.
-
Install New Belt: Slide the new timing belt onto the pulleys, ensuring the teeth are properly engaged and that the belt follows the correct path.
-
Set Tension: Re-engage the tensioner and tighten it according to your engine's service manual specifications to achieve proper belt tension.
-
Verify Alignment: Double-check that all timing marks are still perfectly aligned.
-
Final Check: Manually rotate the engine two full revolutions using a wrench on the crankshaft bolt. The timing marks should align perfectly again.
-
Reassemble: Reinstall all covers and components that were removed. Reconnect the battery and test the engine.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I know if this timing belt fits my Suzuki outboard?
A: This belt fits Suzuki 4-stroke models from 9.9 to 20 HP made from 2004 onwards. It is crucial to verify your exact model (e.g., DF9.9B, DF15A) and year against our compatibility chart. It also fits select Johnson/Evinrude 9.9-15 HP models. The primary part numbers it replaces are Suzuki 12761-93EL0 and 12761-93E00.
Q: What are the signs of a failing timing belt?
A: Common signs include a ticking noise from the engine, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or difficulty starting. Upon visual inspection, look for cracks, fraying, glazing, or missing teeth on the belt. A complete failure can cause severe internal engine damage.
Q: How often should I replace my outboard's timing belt?
A: Always consult your engine's service manual for the recommended replacement interval. This is typically based on a combination of service hours and age (e.g., every 1000 hours or 5 years, whichever comes first). Proactive replacement is a key part of preventative maintenance.
