Genuine Manual

[Tommo]

Hi I have finally given in and will buy an OEM manual. I have found one on ebay, it is found at:<br /><br /> http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4577238187 <br /><br />Can someone tell me if this is a geniune manual? Will be of more help then the clymer manual that i got from the library? <br />Also i got an 1985 4hp Johnson, I am presuming it is the same as the 1980 4hp evinrude, just different stickers, am i right or wrong?<br /><br />Thanks for your advice

That's the "real deal".<br /><br />Be careful, the ignition systems may have changed from '80' to '85'.

Re: Genuine Manual

How can I find out if the ignition system changed. Do you know JB, did the ignition change in 5 years?

Don't know where you are, but I hoped you noticed the manual is in AU.

Re: Genuine Manual

Im in Australia so are you 100% sure R.Johnson that the ignition is the same, can anyone else confirm this?

Re: Genuine Manual

Other than the wire connectors to the ignition coils, they are the same. They are both CD-2 ignition systems.

Re: Genuine Manual

So should i buy this manual? Will I be able to fully reasemble my 1985 johnson with this 1980 manual? or should i wait and try find a manual from 81-85?
