Almost got all the kinks out of the old motor and may restore(paint) the outside. Anyone have a source for new decals for a 1996 88 spl? Also, is the evinrude blue metallic spray paint what to use with proper prep and priming? Or is there another product which will be better?

Re: Engine paint

you can get the part # from Evinrude's site for the decal kit but it lists it as dealer order and not online but at least you can get the right decal for that year/model

They also list the paint information there as well

96 is not an OLD motor, it is just broken in good.

I hear ya. I just put a new(used 2002) power pack on it(had a coil not firing, tried swapping no luck) and what a difference. Starts great but now I have to back down idle about 250 rpm. Going for a test ride later or in the AM.
