Johnson 9.9 year?

ocbinva · Jul 4, 2016

Got a couple free engines from a buddy. A Johnson 9.9 and a Mercury 50hp. Both ran when put up with a tarp over 10ish years ago. The ID plate is missing so how else can I tell what years it is? I want to order parts to see if I can get it running. Any insight is appreciated.

No expert, but I'm guessing early 80's. I have a 1979 evinrude 9.9 and yours looks almost identical to it except for the wiring which makes me think a few years newer.

Little frost plug like on right hand side of motor block that has model number stamped on it.

Black painted block means that this is 1985 or later. Looking at the cowling, this looks like an 89 or 90. As stated before, there is a little silver plug that should have the model number stamped on it. It's right above the top cylinder, on the starboard side.
