It's an old technology that is being replaced by newer direct injection ETEC two strokes and modern four strokes. They really aren't worth much anymore. We just pulled the trigger on replacing a 2000 era 115 HP Johnson, which is almost identical. It needed rebuilding. We got an ETEC instead. It's so much nicer. We could have bought a fully rebuilt one just like ours for less than a thousand dollars. It would have taken about that to rebuild it. The guy gave us $500 on a trade in.
Newer engines start with a turn of the key, don't pollute like the Exon Valdize, and are much quieter. No one wants the old two strokes anymore and with good reason.
