ok take us a pic of the power head and does it have 2 seperate packs running the coils or just one at the center of flywheel? that welsh cap would be center rear of your motor.

The mid section is an 85-87 style if it is in fact a 140 V4 looper under the cowling. Really need to see a pic of the powerhead though to id it much furthur. The welch plug if it's still there will be in the center upper rear portion of the engine in the recessed hole above where it has V4 embossed.

I think the cap fell out of the hole above the V$.

That is an 85-87 style 140. It came origanally with a small bore, but you have to pull the heads off to see if it has been replaced with a late model. The ignition systems and such are pretty universal from 85-87 with the exception of 85 having a 6100 RPM limiter and 86-87 had a 6700 RPM limiter.

Thanks you for all your help.

I notice 328624 stamped on the engine head, mine has the same number and mine is 1987 140 V4 small bore looper, however the heads are inter changeable...
To be sure if its a 87 , post the part number on the power pack I know for sure ..If its a 87 there is only 2 model for the 140's J140TLCUA 1987 and J140TXCUA 1987 your clearly shows a Tilt & trim so if its a 87 then its model J140TLCUA
If you have a CDI pack install the number should be CDI 113-3101

the power pack won't help either due to you can put 85 to 87 wiring on V4 loopers up to about 94, and no that's not a TL model due to it's a 25 inch motor so is a J140TX**.
