Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?

A: Please review the "Compatible Engine Models" table to verify your engine's model, horsepower, and year range. This kit is a confirmed fit for Suzuki DT4 and DT5 (4-5 HP) 2-stroke models from 1984-2002. For Johnson/Evinrude, please match your existing part number to the cross-reference list, as specific model compatibility is not guaranteed.

Q: What are the signs of a bad water pump impeller?

A: The most common symptoms are engine overheating at idle or low speeds, and a weak or intermittent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port. Upon inspection, a failed impeller may appear brittle, cracked, have missing vanes, or feel stiff.

Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?

A: As a crucial part of preventative maintenance, it's recommended to replace the impeller every 1 to 2 years, or every 100-200 hours of operation. Frequent use in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions may require more frequent inspections and replacements.
