In last '90s they were selling Suzuki rebranded 4 stroke engine because no one want 2T carburated engine due to noise, fuel consumption and polluttant emission. OMC died because they did not understand quickly that outboard world was changing and when they reply to this, the produce the ficht ram engine, disaster, and later Etec's family, a good engine but not enough reliable. G2 family was also better from performance, but they did not solved the other problem. Ps I have a 2007 40hp Etec and runs great.
@@luigigargiulo5368 OMC sold the Suzuki four strokes to help comply with EPA regulations. I'm old school and much prefer the older simpler more powerful two strokes.
Thanks
What a beauty. OMC would still be in business if they could produce this exact engine today
You are so correct! Thanks.
