" I posted a question about the year of this motor 2/21/04 on this board. Joe Reeves said it was a 78, Thanks Joe. Evinrude-85hp, 1517cc, Firepower ignition, Mod #85899C, Ser # J0003669. 4 cyl. 2 carbs. This motor belongs to a good neighbor and I wanted to help him get it running. The compression is: cyl #1..110lbs, cyl #2..110lbs, cyl #3..100lbs, cyl #4..117lbs. Each cylinder has a good spark. The question is: I can't see a carb brand name anywhere. Will I have to take them off to find the brand name to buy rebuild kits? Also, what spark plugs should I get for this motor? Thank you! "
 
" Ray.... In addition to Spark

" Ray.... In addition to Sparky's reply, you might also be able to purchase those carb kits at NAPA. You don't need a carb brand name.

Just have the year, hp, and model number of the engine with you. They can look up the correct carb kits with that info. "
