2003 johnson 90 hp question before I buy

[anderso8623]

Looking at buying a 2003 johnson 90hp. I belive it is a 2 stroke but I am not sure if they even made a 4 stroke that year. How many cylinders is it and is it good on gas? Any issues I should know about for that Year and HP?

Johnson did market a 4 stroke in 2003.----Painted white and made by Suzuki.

Get a model # off of it.

Johnson made two types of 90 hp engines that year. The 2003 60 degree 2-stroke carb loopers have been great engines. They are a V-4. Also great is the the 2003 4-stroke Johnson (Suzuki) engine- which is fuel injected. These are an in-line 4. The 2-stroke will probably beat the Johnson (Suzuki) 4 stroke in a hole-shot duel, but both make 90 hp at WOT-so should run same speed at WOT. Offhand, I'd think the 4 stroke would command a higher price because it is fuel injected and will probably nudge out the V4 in fuel economy.
