I'm on the exact opposite end of this comparison myself. Most of us can't afford a new engine, so the older carbed engines will need some repairs from time to time. And the parts cost of YAMAHA parts VS JOHNNY-RUDE stuff is a BIG difference. Plus from my experience I have found the JOHNNY-RUDES to be easier to work on. This is just an opinion of mine, and I'm biased towards the US made engines as well.
