Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this power pack fits my engine?
This power pack is designed for Johnson/Evinrude 2-cylinder engines from 4HP to 60HP, manufactured between 1977 and 1984. To ensure a match, compare your engine's model, year, and original part number to the information in the "Compatible Engine Models" and "Part Number Cross-Reference" tables.
