Good Day! Trying to id outboard with no tag, but freeze plug numbers are...

baarf

New member
on the top of the block is a silver plug with the number J115TXCNB under that is the number J5716935

Got this from an auction very cheap as a project fishing boat for my grandson and I
I have very little (read none) but basic knowledge about boats (water supposed to be outside the hull...)
Its mounted to a very old Glassmaster open bow that needs rewired for the system outside of the motor, but the motor side seems fine and it will spin, has spark but so far no thunder. It sat for several years.
I appreciate any help

Thank you!

The CN makes it a 1982 model.-----Do a compression test BEFORE you spend any $$$ on this motor.---Post the actual values here.-----Pushing the key in and holding it in while cranking it over?

Yep, it's a 1982. The parts list is located here--> 1982 J115 Parts
Take Racer's advice and check compression first. Fogging oil is your friend here and I suggest spraying all 4 cylinders with fogging oil through the spark plug holes and through the carb throats before spinning this engine anymore. You want a good coat of lubrication on the cylinder walls and crank bearings before trying to fire an engine that has sat for an unknown amount of time.

If the compression checks out (approximately 120PSI and all cylinders within 10% of each other), then the likely next step is to clean and rebuild the carbs with new kits. After setting an unknown amount of time the fuel chambers and passages are likely gummed up with varnish. You'll also want to check the fuel pump and possibly rebuild it with a new repair kit.
 
Test the overheat warning horn.---Change gear oil.-----Install a new water pump impeller before your first boating adventure.
