I am attempting to figure out the manufacturing "month and year" of my Honda 2000 BF75 motor. The Number imprinted on the left side of the outboard motor is BBAL-4200382 and the serial number from the engine block is BBAE-2001363

This is a carbureted four stroke and I am currently having acceleration issues at 2000 RPMS (carburetors are spotless). In my research, I see that Honda sent out a service bulletin in 2000 and updated the Valve - Dashpot Solenoid, Diaphragm Assembly and CAM - Throttle Opener starting in June of 2000.

So, I want to know if my motor was manufactured "before" June of 2000 or afterwards. Then I can purchase the new parts if necessary.

Thanks for "any and all" help!!
