Friend has what he thinks is a '78 Evinrude 55. Original owners were an older couple who had it a pontoon on a freshwater lake. Trouble is its not getting spark and may need a new amplifier. The OMC part # off the amplifier itself is #389549. When we checked with NAPA inquiring about a new amplifier using the aforementioned part #, they said its listed only for 1968 and 1969 Evinrudes of the following sizes: 55,65, and 85 horsepower, not to mention list price is $319.
I found someone who may have good working used amplifiers but he is asking me for the model # of this engine. The only number I can find is: J09082. Is this the model # or serial#?
If there should be another number on this engine, where exactly would it be located?
