Re: Year and model # needed
Hi Glen,<br /><br />I have the exact same problem, but with a 15 hp evinrude (probably ~76-82 vintage). I posted here about a month ago, but haven't found the solution. It won't be a problem for the basic things, but ignition parts might be different amongst different years. I was able to buy a new starter pinion (gear on the recoil) without the model #. Also, notice that each part usually is stamped with a part number, so if you have one in hand, you'll likely be able to get the right replacement part. <br /><br />When I posted, "Bear" responded with a couple of useful links... here they are.<br /><br />

So, I wasn't totally aghast that the plate was missing. Seems typical for it's overall condition. Also I know the guy that I bought it from and that he had had it for about 8-10 years. Having said that, once I realized that the plate was missing (when needing parts), it made me wonder whether it might have been stolen at some point in the past, the plate removed, and sold to my friend. You might want to tuck the bill of sale & the seller's info somewhere secure, in case someone (the dealership ?) directs the mounties to you, thinking maybe you've stolen the motor. I don't mean to make you paranoid (like me
), but holding onto the bill of sale and contact info of the seller always seems like a good idea to me.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />Brent
