    90 or 99?? The carbed 150's are usually very good engines. If it checks out,runs good and the price is right get it.

    I think the 60 degree 150's are better motors.

    Are you using the same logic as you used describing how the NKG's plugs are better than Champion spark plugs?

    Just wondering.

    Not sure how much Johnson and Evinrude differ that year but I have a 1990 Johnson 150 and it is a very reliable ( but is still carbs , Not as smooth and starting procedures are not forgiving ) as efi but also very simple to work on and maintain--- keep carbs clean and decarb once a year and mine has never let me down! My engine hangs on a 1990 Stratos 275 Pro XL full tanks -- fishing gear -- 2 anchors pulls to 60 Mph (GPS) @ 5800 rpm 13 1/2 - 24 renegade
