HERE IS THE INFO FOR MY MOTOR:<br />9.8 MOTOR<br />SN #4997779<br />YEAR? UNKNOWN<br /><br />I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS MOTOR FOR $500, WAS THAT A FAIR PRICE? THE GUY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A TUNE UP. AFTER STARTING THE MOTOR AND RUNNING IT FOR ABOUT 10MINUTES IN DIE, I STARTED IT AGAIN AND ENGAGED IT IN DRIVE AND IT WENT DEAD AGAIN, AFTER THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU THINK I DID WRONG. THE FUEL BULB WAS VERY FIRM. WATER WAS COMING OUT OF THE PORT AND IT HAD VERY GOOD COMPRESSION. IT DID NOT COME WITH A OWNERS MANUAL SO I A SEEKING ONE OF THEM ALSO. ANY SUGGESTION WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANKS

I would recommend getting a manual for it and rebuilding the carburetor.

Here goes...<br /><br />General Information:<br /><br />This model was painted all "Phantom Black." <br />The serial number was on the instruction plate on the front of the swivel bracket.<br />Serial numbers 4605112 thru 4839253 are 1977 models.<br />Serial numbers 4839254 thru 5206549 are 1978 models.<br />Serial numbers 5206550 thru 5541279 are 1979 models.<br />This model was offered in both Short and Long Shaft versions, and with & without electric starting.<br /><br />So I guess your model number puts you in 1978. It is the model 110. And I don't know what other information I can give you. Ask and you shall receive...LOL!<br /><br />Good night!

the prop does not have a shear pin, it has a rubber hub that gives with sufficient impact.
