[QUOTE="MOE, post: 343145, member: 5668"] Thanks for taking the time and explaining this. Pretty sure it's a 1988 model. It has been a great little motor. Really surpirsing how strong it is and for a while I was wondering if was a 9.9 with 8 stickers. Then I found out about the serial number. It pushes my 1436 pretty fast by myself and no gear. Have hit 23 but usually runs 21 and 16 with two people and gear. I went to a shop yesterday afternoon and they didn't have the kit in stock but had some gaskets and gave one to me free of charge. Told me to go ahead and change it out and order the kit if nothing changes. From what you say about the hose in there, sounds like I sould go ahead and rebuit the carb anyway and I reckon I should go ahead and replace all the hoses going to the carb also. I will print the diagram and probably take some pics to help remember how to put it back together. [/QUOTE]
