[mort kent]

I have a chance to buy this motor at a real good price, what kind of motors are the nissan?? Not like a force, or some other off breed are they? I have never owned one so I I have no clue to performance, parts, reliability, resale value. Can some one help me out?? thanks

Model is more significant than year of manufacture. What model is it? That determines whether it's a "regular" 2-stroke or a TLDI.

It is a regular two stroke. A 40 hp plus, do that help???

So, I assume you have an NS40, in some flavor such as a 40C or D or D2, is that right?

These 2-strokes are NLA (no longer available) in the US. Many parts are still available, but not all the parts. A lot depends on your precise model.

The Nissan is made by Tohatsu, (as is the Merc of 30 HP and below). Solid motors, with mature technology. The current 40 is a TLDI (fuel injected) 2-stroke.

Thanks much for the info, I appreciate your honest remarks. It sounds like a good buy, but maybe it is not.

Re: nissan 40hp plus 2000year

OB manufacturers build motors based on "families" of blocks. Breathing and timing typically make the differences between horsepower ratings within a family of motors.

For example, the current 4-stroke 2.5 and 3.5 have the same block, and the 4/5/6 have the same block; likewise, the 8/9.8 are based on the same block, etc., etc. The most famous of these in the old 2-stroke world was the 9.9/15. Lots of power difference (in percentage) by changing how the motor breathes.

Again, the specifics of your 40-to-50 differences will depend on the precise model you have. The Nissan model should be something like NS40C or similar. Without knowing your actual model, we would only be guessing.
