Hey all,
I recently picked up a boat, motor, and trailer for cheap...really cheap! Anyhow, the boat was rotten (which I knew), the trailer was in great shape(which I needed), and the motor runs hot on one side(which is a bad head gasket). What I believed to be an Evinrude 90, turns out to be a 90, with a 140 powerhead, or so I am here to figure out.
On the housing are the numbers-- Model# E90TLC?A (cant determine the #) Serial# R1825907
On the Powerhead,looking from the back of the motor, on the left side is a round tag with 2 rows of numbers. The first row is J140TLC1M or IM (cant tell the second to last number) the row beneath this is 15508458.
On the powerhead, looking from the rear, in the center behind the flywheel on the block is stamped: D&MS3B1HA12393.
With all of this, can someone possibly tell me what I have here? What year is the powerhead? what year is the other section?
Also, if it is a 140, did they come with a tattletale? this one has none. From the rear of the engine, the right side water jacket has 2 rubber plugs that I was told were water diverters (to assure that water goes around the upper cylinder?)Is that the correct amount? 2?
I have pulled the head and found that it has a bad head gasket and was allowing the lower cylinder to get water into it. Easy fix if I can get the year of the powerhead.
Thanks for your help, Dave
