I have the model and serial nu

I have the model and serial numbers and was wonder how to find out the year..

Model # is J15RCSD
Serial # is E5239415

it is a 15 horse and the clymer manual i got with the motor says 1965-1983.
 
is there a website where i can

is there a website where i can break this # down? I was given this motor and it was on a boat that was rotted due to sitting out in the weather for almost 8 years. he said I could have it if I took it out of his yard. I pulled the motor over and it has good compression. so I pulled out the spark plugs and rolled the motor over to check for spark and it does has really good spark according to a friend of mines instant yelling of ouchhhhhhhh. so i poured a little bit of gas in the spark plug holes and pulled it over a few times and it fired right up ran for a second and then quit. so I know the motor is worth fixing but I would like to know as much as possible about it before I start ordering parts so I get the right ones.....thanks in advance

Go to the top of this page. Click on "Engine Manuals" just to the left of where it says "MarineEngine.com". On the page that it takes you to, Click on "Johnson Outboards" in the middle part of the page. The next page it takes you to has a link at the bottom right that says "1980 to present". That will give you a break down of the serial number. I hope thats what you are looking for."
