Sorry I don't have the exact year of the motor. I will try to get that.<br /><br />I bought a 15'Glastron and this outboard for $500. We probably should have had a mechanic look at it to make sure it was OK, but we didn't. <br /><br />We ran it all day, some low rpms some high. Towards the end of the day the motor stopped running. On the outboard, under the hood, there is a lever that can be set to "Automatic", "Choke Off" and "Choke on". When the motor died it was on the "Automatic position" I switched it to the "Choke off" position and the thing fired right up and we made it back to the marina. Wheew!! Is this a sign of major trouble?
