I have a 1989 Suzuki DT30 (parts engine) with electric start and I was wondering if anyone knows if any of the parts are compatible? The flywheel on the DT40 will have to be changed out since there isn't any teeth...

The slope goes from almost flush (next to an existing slab) and gradually drops about an inch. I plan on using self leveling cement for the topping...

    2 Batteries 1 Starter

    I just installed a starter on my 25hp Johnson. I want to run it off my trolling motor batteries that are wired together making 24 volts. Is it ok to run the starter leads to just one battery? The outboard doesn't have a charger so that's not an issue.

    80's Tohatsu parts

    Is there anyplace that sells used Tohatsu parts besides ebay? I busted the fuel pump housing on my 30hp and a new pump will cost me at least $70.00 with shipping. That is more then I paid for the motor itself. Will a fuel pump from another brand work?
