The Suzi DF70 tells you hours by where the tach reads when you first turn on the ignition but before you start the engine.
You need an Owners Manual, sharkbait. Computerized engines are too complex to remember everything.
Also, the Owner's Manual says nothing at all about this. [links]
Re: Suzuki 140 Hours meter
1. Hours the ignition switch is on
2. Hours the engine is running
3. Average hours at the equivalent of 1000 rpm. For example, at 1000 rpm (60,000 rev/hr), hours would be the number of revs divided by 60,000.
4. Average hours of equivalent normal cruise speed based on rev counting. For example, with a normal cruise speed of 4000 rpm (240,000 rev/hr), hours would be the number of revs divided by 240,000.
I imagine that engine hour meters could be set up to indicate:
Ok, I'm a tech geek. Gotta know this stuff. My boat has a Suzuki DF115A four stroke outboard. Engine hours are determined by reading the tachometer and counting the number of flashes of the rev-limit light after you turn on the ignition but before starting. A table in the manual shows the relationship between tachometer reading, number of flashes and engine hours.
Engine wear is probably proportional to the number of revs (wear), engine speed (inertia forces), time spent idling, start-stop cycles and lubrication so there are probably many reasons to prefer one scheme over the other.
Log onto the NADA Guide's website at NADAGuides.com. Click on the first letter of your outboard's manufacturer underneath the "Outboard Motors" text. Select the correct manufacturer if more than one appears and choose the year of manufacture from the next menu. Select your outboard motor from the list of models then click on "Get Used Value" from the next screen. NADA Guides will provide an "Average" and "Low" retail price as an estimate of your motor's value.
Go to eBay.com, and type in your outboard's make, model and year of manufacture into the search box. Look for sellers auctioning the same outboard as yours. Look at the price they are selling to gauge the value of your particular motor. "Buy It Now" prices are likely to provide a better degree of accuracy as some sellers may post a low reserve price to attract bidders. here
Before you sell your outboard motor, it's a good idea to research its market value to make sure you get a good price. There are several different ways of determining the value of your outboard motor, most of which are intended as a guide instead of providing a definitive price. Determining the value of your outboard motor is a relatively simple task and should only take a few minutes, depending on the method you choose. more
Log onto the Boat Trader website at BoatTrader.com and search for people selling the same motor as the one you want to value. Complete the form with the details of your own engine then click "Find It" to look up listings. Use the list prices of engines that are the same or similar to yours to provide a rough estimate of the engine's value. here
I had my tachometer replaced recently because the Rev Limit light stayed on the whole time. The install was done by a local Suzuki dealer. They sold me on an upgraded tach made by Nippon. It's a Suzuki tach. Previously I had a Faria guage.
So when I picked up the boat I turned on the ignition and the tach went through its normal beep and check but it did not needle up indicating the engine hours. When I told the dealership it didn't do this, they looked at it & then tried 3 others (1 a cheaper brand) and still nothing. They said it's impossible to wire incorrectly as it is plug and play & wires are color coded. Everything else on the gauge works fine. here
I have an 07 DF225 with about 300 hrs on it. Anybody have an idea? Thanks more
