OK to follow newer service manual for 1990's model 60hp?

[richardgreen]

Will the 1996 factory service manual for a 3 cylinder J/E be accurate to follow for a 1993 model? Motor in question is a 60hp. Not sure if there were any significant differences between those model years. Any knowledgeable advice here would be appreciated. Thanks

There are a lot of common parts between these two engines. They are both 56 cubic inch displacement. You can actually compare the parts yourself between the two model years. See this factory exploded parts diagram website: epc.brp.com
Some of the part differences could just be related to normal part supercession.
