Need a little help.

[Gooseit777]

Trying to find out what I have here / serial number but yet there’s only one welsh plug on the top of this motor with the # 6 on it. Any info will help thanks

[rgsauger]

I'm saying it's a mid 80's 2.0 or 2.4. The 2 pc heads are the giveaway. But they are the later two-pc heads. 83-88 or so?

[Gooseit777]

Any idea on where the serial number would be? My other 2.4 200 has two plugs on top, one having the number. But this engine only has one.

'80/'81 2.4 225.. first gen power head.. only place serial number was on those was tha clamp best I remember..

Ya 80 81 2.4 225 , the 200 was a vertical reed motor then
But looks like sumone stuck a 40 amp flywheel on it and should been a 9 amp I think

[tlwjkw]

200 those years were also horizontal only five petal (not many of those in '81/'82).. that one is a seven petal.. right on tha 40 amp chargin stuff..

[Merc 2.5]

U sure the old 200 was horizontal? I would had put $ on it that old one were vertical, I'm not questioning u. I'm questioning me I rekon , not sure y the hell I'm thinkin that then

[tlwjkw]

maybe pre '80 were.. after '79 vertical 2.4 was 175 thru '88....

[Merc 2.5]

Maybe its 79s but I did quick Google search and shows 79 80 2.4 200 with vertical , they were old post from here. Anyway. Carry on

[Merc 2.5]

If it wasnt for the head bolts I'd swear its newer , weird

[Gooseit777]

[Gooseit777]

what clamp are you talking about?

The part that's bolts to the boat has trim connected , should have a small metal tag(plate) with serial
