I need a year on this Rudy Tracker, it's an 8hp, model number TJ8RLCEC. Thanks.<br /><br />I've been given this motor to work on by my brother-in-law, who got it from his father, who got it from a client of his construction business, that doesn't know a lick about boat motors apparently.(Now are you confused, I am) I was told that he couldn't get the motor to turn over, it was seized up. I take the cover off the engine and realized why, he had it full throttle and there is a mechanism that locks the pull start so the engine can't be started at full throttle. Well, that was and easy fix and I didn't have to even get my hands dirty. Just thought you might get a laugh out of that one.
<br /><br />Its a 1989 model.
