Or if someone can point me the direction of the right carb I'll be in good shape.

Re: mismatched motor

Why don't you just find a carb which matches the one that's bad? The part number should be written somewhere on the carb body itself.

There appears to be big pieces of the story missing. 60 hp instead of 55hp? Year of the head???? then it jumps to the carbs

I stated in the first post I was looking for a carb.and was wondering what year the head is.i know is not a 55 hp.its suppose to be a 60.thats what the guy I got it from just told me.

Re: mismatched motor

Sounds as though at some point someone swapped powerheads. Made a frankenmotor!

On the top of the powerhead there should be a small silver plug with numbers stamped into it. see if you can locate that plug and get the stamping numbers. The 60hp 2 cylinder was produced between 1980 thru 1985. The stamping for an Evinrude should begin with an E60---- and the Johnson will begin with a J60-----. The remaining numbers will determine the year.

The 60hp models used different part numbers for the upper and lower carbs also.
