Re: 1995 150 2.0 any known issues with this model??
My experience is that they are good engines... The only thing I'll say is that if you're putting them (or any engine for that matter) on a cat, you'll need to pipe clean air down to them... Cat's are notorious for killing engines though sucking water vapour. They kick up a lot of water mist in the engine wells. Find a properly set up cat and you'll see two huge air ducts (about 6-8" diameter) running from up forw'd. They are plumbed into the engine cowl. That allows the engines to suck dry air.... The average 2 litre engine, at full noise, will suck 100 gallons per
minute of salt water at just 5% saturation! OUCH!! I have had the misfortune (more than once
) of seeing what 100 gallons per minute of salty water does to the internals of an engine... Not a pretty site, expect for a new outboard salesman...
Chris....
I had to check the figures twice, as I didn't believe them myself... Here's my working..
2 litres (of air/fuel mixture) per revolution... 5,000 revolutions per minute = 10,000 litres (of air/fuel) per minute.
If 5% is water of 10,000litres per minute = 500 litres per minute.
500 litres = 132 US gallons!
If we say the engine is only 80% efficient at filling the cylinders, that's still 100 gallons per minute!!
