Good or bad.

Can anyone tell me the rough age of this engine, are they any good, fuel consumption?, getting spares etc,
its a 100hp 2str, and it would be for my 5.5m rib.
Thanks, Gerry.

early 90's, spares a plenty, they do like a drink mind.

It's at least 20 years old, it might even be a late 80's engine. At WOT you will be lucky to get 5mpg, but its a 2 stroke so well worth it

uncle al · 11 January 2014, 13:20

fuel consumtion is approx 1/3 of hp in litres per hour at wide open throttle. That is a rough guide.
say hi to ewan for me tell the old sod is still alive.

Well not that old then,
how do you put the wee faces on then ?.

uncle al · 11 January 2014, 14:25

If you had a s/n you could go onto the brunswick site and into the download centre and find the model year, and that is as cose as you will get, because it wont tell you when it was registered (if it was). But if I had to guess I would say about the late eighties or early ninetys

uncle al · 11 January 2014, 14:28

Willk, Thankyou a bit older than that, I feel like a twenty one year old , but I cant find one anywhere.Happy new year though.

when I find her I will have to tie her feet so she cant run too fast as I would never catch her otherwise.

Jonny H · 12 January 2014, 08:34

Thanks for all your help, I bought the engine, boat and trailer, the engine is 1989, and it runs sweet, (touch wood) the whole package has been well looked after, dry stored and hardly used, Ill be a while getting the engine on the rib, as ive other work to do to it, time will tell about the fuel consumption.

In the meantime, anybody wanna buy a wee boat called "hanky panky".

Thanks again, Gerry.
