Not an engine repair topic, but more a general news one.<br /><br />BRP will no longer offer the Johnson 40-225 hp four-stroke engines in the North American market.<br /><br /> As of 2006, the Johnson four-stroke line in North America, will only include 2.5, 4, 6, 9.9, 15, 25 and 30-hp engines. The 2.5-hp is a new addition to the line-up and will be available in early spring 2006. The Johnson carbureted two-stroke line-up will include 3.5, 9.9, 15, 90, 115, 150, and 175-hp models.<br /><br /> News link

The recent 8 hp Johnson 4 stroke was an 'OMC' motor built in their Hong Kong factory, now owned by Bombardier.

OHHHH<br /> a global thang :) <br /> thats why anymore I dont care about the brand, odds are most of it was made someplace else. I just try to buy something that will outlive the payments.<br /> but it was my understanding that it was not an OMC or BRP design and was being produced under license.
