Help identifying correct Johnson engine year

[Disturbed]

After I get off work this afternoon, I'm going to go and check to see if I can find the model number on the plug. I also suspect that someone may possibly have changed out the engine cowling which cold be throwing me off with the "Silver Star" series versus something else. When I bought the bought, he was adamant that the engine was a 1996.

We shall see, I suppose.

Well the wiring harness on it is a 95 or older as 96 went to the system check system guage with multiple modular plugs. 95 and older used teh large single red plug for the harness like yours has. It's not really a big deal as those engines went mostly unchanged for there entire run from 91-03, and were some of the most reliable engines they ever built.

Here's mine. Yours should be in the same place.

I'm not having much luck so far. The welch plug had my serial number on it, but not the model number. The serial number is G3040180. I'm going to try and find the original owner and see if maybe they can provide more insight or have old paperwork.

There is a good chance there is another one on the engine with the model on it.
I need to go and see if I can find it's location.

I'm unsuccessful locating another plug (if it exists) and to come to find out this year BRP is doing away with the year designations like Mercury did.

Disregard the last line on chart. That is for the next chart.
