SUZUKI DF5AL

The Suzuki DF4, 5 and new 6 HP outboards are a completely new design and demonstrate the Companys determination to make the advantages of advanced clean burning, fuel saving 4-stroke technology available to the portable engine user. Ease of operation and handling ranked very highly in the design criteria. Power is provided by a single cylinder OHV engine with a displacement of 138cc - the largest in the class. Combined with the lightweight this produces excellent low to mid-range torque and fast acceleration. An industry first is the digital capacitor discharge ignition system. This combines the ignition coil and control processor into a corrosion resistant single unit which produces precise control of the ignition timing, gives stable idling and has a built-in rev limiter. The tiller handle is mounted on the steering bracket allowing the operator to sit well forward improving weight distribution. Other features include 180-degree steering providing good manoeuvrability even in shallow water drive; a 1-litre integral fuel tank and a large carrying handle.
