Go to E-bay. See the URL below.

This is a very good engine. I used to have an Evinrude 85.

Answer 2

Seloc has comprehensive manuals for almost all makes & models of OMC motors......just MAKE SURE you have the right HP & year selected.      Most Johnson's are 16 degress from TDC for dwell......idle speed should be about 750-1000 rpm
