The FICHT and FICHT RAM engines are normally to be avoided if built by OMC. By 04 they were all built by BRP, and were much better engines, but I would still be gunshy of one myself. Is the engine in question a FICHT RAM or a carbed motor? Most all of the EVINRUDES were FICHT's while the JOHNSON's were normally carbed engines, but there were some exceptions. Most people put a much higher value on the carb motors over the DFI FICHT injection engines due to all of the problems they've had. If it's the carbed engine, it's a good engine(just thirsty), but I would avoid injected ones.
