If it were possible, it would be way too expensive to be practical.

The 75 is a detuned 90 V-4 and the V-4 had less problems than the V-6 series

Ah, you are right. I think I'd look for a different motor.

is it expensive to retune the engine to a 90?

Forget it. Not practical.

The difference is the EMM mapping and the 75 alway came with the "batwing" style lower unit unless it was a 25". The 90 came both ways the small "batwing" and large "V-6 " style lower unit.
