Hi i recently purchased this engine as a non runner and trying to find out what year it was built for parts and diagram etc, It has a serial number of 9135378 its also blue band.
I have searched the net but can not find that serial number anywhere, If you can help then great, I just wanna see if its worth investing in as it is a non runner.

Cheers

Thanks for that, Because Of its age is it worth the investment? the story i have received is that the guy i brought the boat of brought it 3 months ago in the hope to repair it, b4 it was out at sea in a harbour but not touched for about a year, i think hopefully i have sourced a manual for this (thanks to e-bay), the bottom end is turning over so not seized, the puller on the top is creating power, but just not getting nothing to the 2 spark plugs, i am gonna clean all the terminals up, i have been informed that the boat will not run without the kill swith on the dashboard connected, is this true? if so where do you connect it? cheers for your help
