I have an old Johnson v4 outboard i think its a 115hp the only number i can find is on the freeze plug (welsh plug) on the top of the block and its 40130891 - the I.D plate is missing i am trying to find out what year this motor is can any one help.
Thanks the information has been great it turns out that the motor is the old school 1975 model.a good way to let us help you is post a picture of the cover...and then one of the motor with no cover. even a picture of the carbs could help..pin down the year. for parts replacement, many motors have interchangable parts over a large number of years, so getting close maybe all you need.
