could anyone tell me what fuel connector is used on the engine side of the fuel line??? its the two pin type i need!!! as shown in the pic!!!


is it the same as mariner/mercury???? i know there can be slight differences inbetween the different makes of outboards, just wondering if anyone can help me out, as our suppliers list a totally different type of connector!!!!

That 2 pin system is a ball-type check valve, and a locator/locking pin.

The locator pin has a groove that catches a metal locking clip on the mating piece.

The business prong has a spring loaded ball bearing to seal the fuel line; the engine side usually has a little spring loaded pin that opens the port on the engine side, and pushes the ball bearing back on the hose, which allows fuel from the hose into the engine.

[note: This is also why simply disconnecting the fuel line and running 'til the motor quits won't empty the float bowls: the vacuum formed by the closed-off motor connector will cause fuel starvation before the fuel is burned off.]

I don't know exactly what size is used on your Zuke; not that it matters: when I replaced the hose end connector on my Honda 40, I ended up going through 3 brands (all labelled as Honda replacement parts) before finding one that worked, and locked onto the fitting adequately.

Best bet is to remove the parts, and take them with you when you shop for replacements (or better yet, pay the money and get OEM replacements.)

cheers for the info, but the problem is that i work for Mailspeed Marine, and a customer has ordered the fuel fitting, however we list the wrong type for him, basically we have the fuel tank end fitting!!!! i unfortunatly dont have the correct one in front of me to compare the different ones, as the guy lives a couple of hundred miles away!!!!!

i know mariner mercury are the same fitting, really wanted to know if anyone knew off hand if say the Yam, johnson/evinrude etc fitting fitted the Suzuki !!!


any help is much appreciated!!! Cheers guys and girls

I see your problem. Unfortunately, I can't help, as I run a Yamaha. The Tempo site lists Suzuki fuel connectors separate from Mercs, though, so I figure it has to be different somehow.

Looks like the type used on Suzuki 4-strokes. The older 2-strokes used a couple of different types, but not a two pin as you have shown. Due to the relative newness of this type, I suspect it may be a dealer part.
