Tohatsu makes Mercury and Nissan 4 strokes up to 30HP. I know the 2.5-9.9 Merc's are carburated. You can often get a better deal on a Tohatsu simply because people will look right past them, but it's the same motor. I bought a 3.5 Merc 4 stroke last year because it had the integrated fuel tank and I got a killer deal on it from my nephews Pawn Shop. I don't want to stumble over an external fuel tank in my little pond boat.
