Are you looking to replace the powerhead or the whole motor? Are you sure the popping isn't the clutch dog in the lower unit? Replacing the powerhead won't help that.

1976-1978 25hp & 35hp are the only ones that will fit your midsection

Ohhhhh....my my.....I think you should check things out first, before you go through the expense of a powerhead. First off, I would at least get a compression check. Second of all, I would check your carb adjustments and the condition of your ignition system. A bad powerhead is not likely to create a lot of missing, but other problems (that have nothing to do with the posted here) such as unusual noises and a large variance in compression.:cool:
