I just picked up a 1968/1969 Thunderbird Comanche to restore. It came with a 19?? Evinrude 150 VRO that needs a bunch of little parts. Unfortunately the previous owner cleaned it very well removing all the stickers and tags. The only labeling I could find was a faded out warning sticker. hence I have no idea what the model number is so I can't order parts before i start the tear down.
I have searched through countless parts breakdowns looking for one that matches. I found sticker kits that matched one year but engine diagrams that came close to other years.
I even contacted BRPs Marine Propulsion Division with the number off the plug and pictures. Their answer was "Unfortunately, we do not have access to the information necessary in order to accurately identify your unit. I can tell you that the powerhead of the unit was replaced at some point as the number provided is for a powerhead and not a serial number."
Could someone out there help me figure out at what year this might be?
I have attached pictures and can post more if there is something specific that would help ID the outboard.
I would highly appreciate any assistance.
