Parsun makes them in China.
Lots of retailers have been trying to sell them around here.
A bunch of them have stopped selling them.
Deep discounts and then they don't restock.
Don't know why.
Apparently they just don't sell very well.
Parts are another story. Apparently these motors are copies of Yamaha motors,
and Yamaha parts are supposed to work. But which ones?
They are 4 stroke, but still aren't certified for sale in California. ??
ive seen exactly one in the water period.they sell them at ctc and their clone Shakespeare.(sp).bought a shotgun years ago that was made in china and had a 7 year warranty.it did break and my warranty work was to ship it to china!!ouch and no will do.lesson learned.buy cheap you get cheap in some cases.buyer beware.
Those rebadged engines are just good for goofing around or as an aux engine, forget all about for recreational or commercial uses, the bait is cheap price attached on the hook... Has bad metallurgy, bad quality seals and un expected electrical failures.
In Canada, Canadian tire sold them until recently. They are rebranded motors, typically less expensive than the 'name' brands (Yamaha, Evinrude, Mercury etc.). The main problem is finding someone who can get the parts, as in many areas, they don't have a dealer network that also does the repairs.
