I'm warming to this thread. I have a Suzuki 6hp 4 stroke. What can I turn that into?

I have joined a US forum and asked for international help - lets see what response, if any, we get.

Sods law means it would be a 4hp....

I bought a Suzuki 4 hp 4 stroke, and to turn that into a 5hp you just flip over the little moulding that the throttle cable attaches to, done. I don't think that's the case with yours though.




How do you turn a 5hp into a 6?

That's a bit more complex, probably along the lines jfm is proposing above.

Davy you are on the right lines.
Just shoving more fuel in won't work.
OK on little two strokes.
As long as enough air is available too.
'Mixture' is important.
More revs are needed.
Ignition timing and valve timing (to get suck in and get rid of said mixture) and the Ig to adjust itself accordingly.

I think there is more to it than a jet change.
Just happened on the thread, not checked owt properly yet.
Will talk to contacts who deal with this stuff more regularly than Me Mr Bloater.
This kinda suff intersts Me!
Sad git that I am!

Major to turn Your 6 into 9 is much more easy.
Turn the Fekker upside down!
See the simple suggestions are always the Best
