Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket fits my Suzuki engine?
This gasket is specifically made for Suzuki 2-Stroke models including the DT40, DT50, DT55, DT60, DT65, and the commercial PU55, primarily from years 1985–1997. Please check the compatibility table on this page against your engine's model and serial number to ensure a correct match.
Where exactly does this gasket get installed?
This particular gasket creates a seal between the water pump plate and the driveshaft housing. It's a critical component located at the base of the water pump assembly inside the lower unit.
What are the signs of a failing water pump gasket?
Common symptoms include the engine overheating at low or high speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "telltale" water indicator outlet, or evidence of water leaking from the seam where the lower unit meets the midsection.
Should I use sealant or adhesive with this gasket?
No, this gasket is designed to be installed dry. Applying sealant can cause it to squeeze out into water passages, leading to blockages and overheating. Ensure both metal surfaces are clean and smooth before installation.
How often should this gasket be replaced?
It is strongly recommended to replace this gasket any time you service the water pump. As a general rule, the entire water pump service, including the impeller and all gaskets, should be performed every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of operation.
Is this part the same as Suzuki part 17472-95300?
Yes. This product is a direct replacement for part number 17472-95310, which itself superseded the older part number 17472-95300. It is the correct, updated component.
