I dont remember which one of you is from camden county, NC? Ncgarage? Bluerunner? But the motor is on billets bridge road not to far from one of yall.

You will be very pleased with that motor.

I have not had any problems with mine, I bought it new in 2003.

Well its official. I own a 140 hp suzuki. So i looked at all corrosion spots nothing to write home about the motor was really really clean. I did the hour meter trick with the analog tach gauge by turning the key on but not starting and the needle on the tach will rise to the rpm that shows the hours on the motor for 3 seconds. Meaning if the gauge rises to 3000 rpm the motor has plus or minus 300 hours on it. Well the needle on this motor went to 2500 rpm.....i almost **** my pants so i did it 3 more times and the same thing...2500 rpms so i called my suzuki tech and said this cant be right! 250 hours! On a 2002. He said the hours from the gauge were always rightand corresponded to his computer. He then said congratulations you have officially hit the motor lottery and have found a cream puff! He then said buy it!!! Buy it Immediately!!! Im so stoked right now!!

on the 2004 you gotta count the rev limit light flash because it starts over after 5000
so 1 flash equals 500 hrs, 2 flashes 1000hrs

Smoke he called at like 8 tonight......he acted as if he never talked to me before!!! Lol!! The price is at 2000.00 now. He was all about 1500.00. Sombody must have fixed an idle issue he said he was having and now thinks it worth more. He lost me when he acted like he never spoke to me before.

ok thx... I was 'in' for $1500 and honestly it's probably still worth it at $2k also but at that price I'll hold out for more HP....... Plus WTF... talks to you at $1500 and then changes his price n wants to play games.... He lost me too there...

good lookin out tho

Late 90's Evinrude 150 loopers are everywhere,.........put out closer to 165 hp at prop, and are very reliable carb motors. Lots of them for sale, and easy to check the basics including compression.
