62...check on top of the block for a silver plug(similar to a freeze plug)..there should be a serial # stamped in plug

cleaned all the paint from the (core) plug,no number. parts guy at marina thinks maybe early 80's from seeing the head gasket (replaced after reading this forum),would pictures help?

If it is a 3 cylinder 60 with the plug wires coming out from under the flywheel, it is a 70 or 71.

Star.... Send some pictures to me at my e-mail address and I'll see what I can come up with.<br /><br />ReevesJ32@aol.com<br /><br />Be sure to insert something into the subject area to jog my memory as to what the e-mail is about. I do have a habit of deleting mail from people I don't know that has attachments.

For those that might have wondered, Star sent me some pictures, a two (2) cylinder Evinrude with the terminal type powerpack, combined with a electric choke setup that also incorporated a manual choke lever at the top starboard portion of the carburetor face plate.<br /><br />The only engine manufactured by OMC with that combination was the 1976 55hp Evinrude/Johnson model.
