I've talked to several Suzuki mechanics and to Customer Service at USA
Suzuki Marine and here are "answers" (i.e. "information") I received.

1--The amount of water squirting out of the pilot (pee) hole is
determined by the rpms of the motor; the faster the motor revs, the
bigger the stream.

2--The idle setting on the motor is 1800 rpm (which seemed quite peppy
to me) but is needed to be that fast to keep the impeller pumping
water.

3--At some speeds, there will not be a "stream" of water but only a
"mist" that one can feel by putting one's hand in front of the pilot
"pee" hole.

4--The manual still sucks.

5--There was a recsall issued by Suzuki for certain motors within a
serial number range for a defecvtive cooling system. My motor was not
in that group.

And now for what REALLY ****ED ME OFF! I've owned Suzuki motorcycles
and ATVs and have always like products made in Japan; however, in
looking at the motor plate today I saw the words MADE IN THAILAND.
GRRRRRRRRR...even the outsourcees are not outsourcing.
