Name this Yamaha

[rockstar55667]

I bought this Yamaha off some guy that had it on Ebay a year ago for $150.

He didn't know much about it, other than the fact that it ran.

Sure enough it runs great. It appears that it was re painted or something. There are no markings as to what HP it is. The serial and model number plate has been removed (im guessing when they painted it?) and never put back on. So i don't know much about this thing. From what i can tell is its probably a 4 HP, i saw one on ebay a while ago that looked similar, advertised as a 4 HP.

Anybody know anything about this motor? (Year, HP, Model #...anything else?)

Thanks

It looks like an early 80's model.

I'm going to guess that motor is of the stolen variety.
It might not be stolen but it doesn't make any sense to remove the model/serial # sticker or plate to paint the thing.

Anyways, nice little motor. $150 is a steal.
