Info on 9.9? HP Chrysler

[Sprice]

Hi I'm looking for some information if anyone can help me on here.

I have recently purchased an old-ish Chrysler outboard. It has 15 on the cowling, but on the name plate only claims 9.9. The model number didn't match any that I found on iboats' outboard parts store pages, either. It's model 92F4A, serial 1001. Manual start.

Does anyone know the year of this motor? Also, does anyone have any idea on whether this is a de-tuned 15hp, rated at 9.9?

I haven't torn into it yet, but it looks in remarkably good shape. It doesn't start, but I suspect a tune-up/points/carb cleaning will overcome that problem.

I haven't checked compression with a tester, just in pulling over it felt pretty good.

Anyway, for $70 I haven't risked too much, I hope

Thanks for any info/help anyone can throw my way.

Scott

Well, after trolling the web, and looking through stacks of posts on this forum I'm going to post some links that have helped me narrow things down a bit. Perhaps these will be a help to someone else also?

This is a chart with model #'s correlated to years/place of manufacture/etc:

Two pages of specifications for 1970 model Chrysler engines:

I still haven't solved the mystery of the Model # I have 92F4A (and I'm pretty sure it is not HA), nor why it has 15 on the cowling... but both those may be of secondary importance.

Ok,

I'm getting closer. Just posting this in case there is someone else out there attempting the not-so-easy task of deciphering model #'s on these Chrysler/Force/US Marine outboard motors.

This link:
http://www.maxrules.com/ForceModels/3p5_45.html

Shows that the model number I have: 92F4A, corresponds to a 1984 Force 9.9 hp outboard. Interestingly, the serial number I have: 1001, is the first of that model made that year! Worthless otherwise, but interesting nonetheless.

The 15hp cowling is easily explained by the fact that those were easily broken and interchangeable.
