Need to find year of 7.5 Honda Motor

[ondh2o]

I have a BF75 Honda motor with a serial number of 1101260. Can anyone tell me the year this motor was made? Thank you for your help.

Hi there, Have a few questions to see if we can help you out better,

1) Is the engine horsepower 75 or 7.5? as you show both.
2) Do you have a model number vs a serial number? You can find some examples in the link below.

Thank you for your reply.
1) The motor is a 7.5 horsepower model. My apologies for the number difference. I just wrote it down as it was on the motor. The serial number sequence did not have a period between the 7 and the 5.
2) I looked on the motor and was unable to find a model number anywhere. I did find a "government inspection" number, but that was about all.

Thank you for your help as I do appreciate that.

I think you can use this tool to select your way down to the parts list for your serial number. Use the one on the left, your BF75 is halfway down the list.

I don't know of any way to determine year. Never seen a listing for the older motors.
