Struggling to identify new motor

I have just bought a outboard from ebay which has the model number 49B36D. From a brief bit of research I believe this is a 4hp 1979 Evinrude motor. It is currently not running and I think I'm going to need to replace a few parts, and am struggling to find this model listed anywhere. The only 4 hp models from 1979 that I can see are:
4904D 1979
4932D 1979
4933D 1979
Are any of these a suitable match for parts, or should I be looking elsewhere to get parts.

All help gratefully received!
:confused:

That looks like a 1979 but model number is odd
Maybe it was built for out of the US.
Try to google vintage evinrude model numbers

Re: Struggling to identify new motor

Many Thanks for the help. I've found reference to it, in a few online lists of Evinrude model numbers. Unfortunately the only 1979 Evinrude 4hp motors I can see on any parts sites are the 3 listed above, and on further inspection the magnetos are certainly quite different (my model has twin coils). On the bright side, the motor is now running! I still need to find the correct impeller for it and some form of choke lever (although I will probably end up making a suitable bodge!)
