Re: Nissan 70 reliability?
I like my '85 Nissan 40C and '97 18E. If they still sold these simple 2 strokes, I'd buy another if I needed one. Mine have seen freshwater only. While I have known Nissan and Tohatsu were the same engine, I choose the Nissan name just incase there was ever a time I needed to sell. ie name recognition. When I compared prices, they were the same.<br /><br />Looking in my Clymer manual, there is a 70B and a 70C. Both appear to be 3 cylinders, but there are different timing and other specs. I'd call and talk to Elvin. If there are any particular issues with that series of engine, he'll give you the scoop.
