There should be a tag on the transom plate with a model number on it. Post the model number here and someone will help you. Best of luck. Rick.

The model #85895C matches an evinrude 1978 85HP, http://shop.evinrude.com/media/document/ModelNumberReference.pdf

There maybe a silver plug about the size of a quarter on top of the powerhead with the model # stamped in it.

This is a picture of mine from a 76 75HP Evinrude. It is located on mine right beneath the lifting hook.

Johnson and Evinrude model #'s from my limited experience don't look anything alike.
