Hummm.....the 90 Yamaha on my Hewes is just so damn dependable I figured I could just buy another one "new in the box" store it in the garage for a few years and do the old "plug and play", replace when mine wears out, however the one I have just keeps on going, and going, and going. The big issue/problem is the fuel usage on my carbed engine versus that on a new four stroke....against the weight difference, plus the $$$$ investment on a new four stroke, plus all the other stuff like controls, guages, etc. I thought I would "beat the system" and just go back with the old engine technology on the cheap but the government regulations make it hard to do. The old ones are not easy to find and when you do the seller knows what it's worth and asks an arm and a leg! It's hell to be poor!
