How can I determine age of an 135 HP outboard Evinrude motor?

I recently purchased a boat with a 135 HP Evinrude. It is an older model for sure, maybe 80s vintage. Model # 135383m Serial # J0008469.

How can I determine age of an 135 HP outboard Evinrude motor?

your motor is a 1984

Where does the oil go in my 1989 Evinrude 200XP outboard motor?

do I mix it with the gas or is there a seperate tank somewhere? I don’t see an oil cap anywhere on the engine itself.

depends if you have a vro system or not, in that year the engine originally came with a seperate oil tank , so you woudl use that, althought if i were me i woudl disable that system if it already hasn’t been (probably already is), anywyas then you woudl mix a 50:1 gas to oil ratio. if you do nto know might be worth it to take it to someone to do all that for you, shoudl only take about 30 minutes to 1 hr to complete

How do I replace the water pump impellar on a 1984 90HP Evinrude VRO outboard motor.?

I know the shift lever has to be disconnected in the forward position and the foot has to be dropped and I think this should be a relatively simple procedure but it,s my first one.Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Evinrude outboard that starts fine out of the water with ear muffs, but won't start in the water????

Any thoughts on what is going on? The plugs are getting fuel, and the choke is moving as it should. Bought new plugs tonight and am going to see if that helps int he morning. One last question, what is the difference between a marine spark plug and any other? Thanks in advance!

what year and horsepower?

don't use any plug not recommended in your manual. and especially don't use a plug not designated as "marine". johnnyrudes run best on champion plugs, the NGK equivalents aren't an exact match for heat range.

now, around the back side of your motor, just below the powerhead, are two holes – those are "exhaust relief ports". When the underwater exhaust is submerged, it puts backpressure on the engine making it difficult to start — the relief ports relieve some of the pressure to make starting easier.

Those ports need to be above the surface of the water for starting.

have a 1971 evinrude outboard and the spark comes and goes any ideas?

the motor will start and run great sometimes and other times it doesnt have any spark at all

Most likely the point gap is too small.
