StorminN, A friend of mine bought a 50 hp. Johnrude in B.C. a couple years ago and got a hell of a deal on it, problem was, he took it to a shop here in Wa. and they told him they couldn't touch it, the Canadian motors do not meet the same emission standards that American motors do, all U.S. sold motors have an emissions sticker on them, repair shops will not do any warranty work on a motor that doesn't have this sticker, can't believe a Honda would be any different.
