I have a 1983 evinrude 140 Model E140TRXCTE. It has been sitting for 3 years, but last year I cleaned and rebuilt carbs Intake manifold, silancer etc..., rebuilt fuel pump (which is leaking I think out of center mounting screw so maybe I forgot an oring there). I completly tore down trim/tilt...
So I got 1 of my T/T all disassembled and realized the trim piston rebuilt kit is not included in the rebuilt kit (0393942) which is a PITA as I now have to wait for it to come before I can reassemble this. Trim units are from 1983 140hp and 1984 120hp evinrudes. Both look to be exactly the same...
I am doing a bunch of work to my motor and one of the things I wanted to do is replace the cracked red "manual valve" on my primer solenoid.
This is what mine looks like:

This is what the part I received looks like...
I bought a lower end/trim/mount unit (basically everything but the top end) with serial number E120TXCO.
Will this fit on my 83 top end serial number E140TRXCT?
I thought it would, but now I want to make sure before I attempt it.
Edit,
I had found this which lead me to the secret files...
So I went to leave the island Sat night and my moter would not go into gear. Today I recalled that I did have the idle adjust up when I put it into gear earlier that day. It did clunk into gear as it was reved up to 1000 to 1200 I would say. I didnt think much of it more than "woops im an...
So my tilt got stuck up while I was out and finally a couple hours later it went down when I started the engine out of the water. I assume the vibrations did it. I thought it was just low on tilt/trim fluid, but I added it and the moter would not go down again while on the trailer. Busing...
I was looking here, but the problem is I have a ski pole. Anyone know what I should buy?

Also want seats like this pic shows...
Well im new here, but I figured I'd try my luck as I am compleatly ignored on the Whaler forum.
So I got a 18.5' Boston Whaler with an Evinrude 140. Both are 83' I assume.
I beleive the Whaler is a GTX, but not sure as it is a bow rider not a center console.
So far with the engine to get it...
