The number you've provided does not come up in the Bombardier system. So we'll have to follow Bosunsmate's suggestion. A few pictures will help to narrow the year down.

That's a 60 degree looper engine. They first came out in the 1995 model year. That year's engine had a plastic applique that said "Johnson" on the cowling. Yours is a decal. Perhaps 98 and newer...

Cant see where that rubber thing is in terms of the whole motor.
If it wasnt doing it before you changed the thermostats maybe one of them is faulty
