Hi guys,
Need some help.. Looking at buying a 150 hp Evinrude FICHT outboard to try and fix up.
Engine details:
06/2000
E150fpxsir
G04897332
Story:
Seller says when the engine went on limp mode due to water flow it was sent to a shop that replace the impeller but didn't fix the issue. Was then brought to another shop that replaced the thermostat and impeller again and same issue so he ended up buying a new engine. He says it most likely a computer problem.
Now, no offence but i don't trust him.. I know i can be hard to guess what the problem is but i'm wandering if this is a common issue. Also do you guys think its possible the ECU is at fault? cracked block? Head? What else could possibly be causing the problem?
I'm just trying to learn from you guys the max about the engine to weight my options and see if it is worth it.
Again, much appreciated,
Regards,
Guy
