I'd fix what you have, at least you know what you're dealing with, buying another used motor is just buying a whole new set of problems. Carburators get gummed up on mercury's just like Suzuki's, just like Yamaha's, just like all of them. there is not a specific brand out there that has no problems, they all break. Some engines excell in areas, but fall behind in other areas. I personally like Mercury V6 engines. You can't beat the power to weight with the money(nothings cheap about an e-tec), I know my way around them an generally don't have any major problems with them. Around here, Yamaha's are the king, they are good motors, but they have their faults as well. The Suzukis don't have much of a resale, but I know several people that have had good luck with them. Just be fore warned, buying another motor isn't necessarily going to fix all your problems, it may actually raise more issues.
