    2000 70 hp johnson temperature sensor I'm told the part is obsolete is there a substitute?

    What he means is don't run it wide open with out a load on it. In the water is the best place. Do not run wide open on trailer.

    200xp low power

    I would check your themostat sensors. I had the same problem. Run out and the engine would go into limp mode , shut it off and would run great. I replaced my thermostat sensors at the suggestion of fastbullet and engine ran great.

    Should I or should I wait.

    I ordered a new Suzuki back in the beginning of summer. It has not came in yet. They have received a few 200hp four cylinder engines in. The one I ordered was a 225hp v6. Should I continue to wait it out or should I take them up on the engine. It would be going on a 1999 proline 23 foot walk...

    Fuel

    The fuel dock where I buy fuel from now has non ethanol fuel. But the guy at the dock says its bad to mix with ethanol fuel. Can you mix these without any issues. I would stay with the non ethanol fuel. Thanks in advance.

    Engine seems to surge at top speed

    My Evinrude engine model # Model J225VXSIF seems to starve for fuel on top end if I back it down to 4500 rpms it will go away. The engine makes a surging noise at wide open. I know water in the fuel will cause this so I have changed the filter with no change. Other than that the engine runs...
