Is this a EFI motor? Merc 225 salt water

[scott_maier]

I'm trying to get some info on this motor (Merc 225 saltwater series). I can't find the serial or model number and I don't even know if it's a 2 or 4 stroke. I'm guessing 2. There is sticker that says manufactured in 2001, but I'm not sure if that's just a date for a part on the motor. Can anyone out there tell if it's fuel injected. It does have what looks like carbs on it, but I'm not sure if they are those throttle body injection type carbs. you see on "older" cars.

Ayuh,.... Looks carbed to me,... never seen float bowls on a throttle body...

Ok. I just answered my silly question. It must be a 2 stroke with that oil reservoir on the side of it...

If it is a 2001, it will have a disc like this on it if it is the original powerhead:

thanks, but i've looked for one of those plugs and haven't been able to find one. Maybe it's on the others side of the motor that I can't get to right now...it's up against the shed wall.

The engine serial number is located on the lower
starboard side of the engine block.
