I just went out to where I have it stored and looked it over again, I made a mistake it says<br />MARK 35A so I'm guessing it's a 35 hp

Mark 30s were built from 1956 to 58, if you remove the top of the cowling(hand starter) the top of the block should be stamped. If you do be carefull as each stud on the housing has shim washer on it

Thank You for the good info! I'll take off the Cowling carefully as you suggest
