Hi. I have what is supposedly a 1989 Johnson 130hp motor. The model number stamped on the engine is J130TX-CEM. The serial number is on the Bill of Sale which I'm trying to find at this point. I haven't been able to locate the serial number on the motor The outboard was purchased from a small, one-man outboard shop near Boston.<br /><br />The problem is, I cannot find any information on 130hp built in 1989. Here is what I do know:<br />*It's a twin power pack(CDI?)ignition. The number on the power pack is CD4 583110 OA11U13<br />*It uses the larger VRO pump mounted toward the front, port side of the engine<br />*The cowling actually looks like a mid 90's model. It uses the red plug to wire into the motor.<br />*The terminal strip is only a five connection point. (not counting the two mounting screws)<br /><br />I've been pouring over my aftermarket manuals and wiring diagrams and nothing matches up to a 130hp. This motor is definitely larger than a 90hp.<br /><br />Could this be some beast put together from a bunch of spare parts? It runs fine, at least so far but I haven't put it through its paces yet.<br /><br />Any information you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours trying to ID this thing with no luck. The info I have only goes to 1990, but I would be very surprised if it was a later model than that.<br /><br />If you prefer to respond by email, please send to realboats@aol.com I can send pictures of the power head of anyone would like to take a look at it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dennis
