While looking at a motor for purchase, the seller told me that the year was a '95 or '96. Furthermore, the owner said it was a 28 H.P. as stated on the cover. First of all, how can I verify the year. Secondly, the same goes for the H.P. rating
If it's 1980 or later, it should have a model number on a plaque somewhere on the motor along with a serial number.
The model number has the make (E or J), HP, features, and model year encoded in it.
