J - Johnson<br />25 - 25hp<br />R - Rope Start<br />CO - '85<br />S - Meaningless model run code.<br /><br />Year code works like this:<br /><br />INTRODUCES<br />1234567890<br /><br /><br />The engine is 20 years old, so condition is everything. Check compression, lower unit lube and if you can idle and full throttle on the water. On the other hand, the engine is 20 years old, so it must be reliable.
