Help with Evinrude Year ID

[thebhoy1888]

Hi Guys, looking for some help again.

I just bought a 55hp Evinrude Outboard, the guy i bought it from said it was an early 90's model but the model and serial numbers dont match anything i can find on the web.

The numbers are as follows:
model no: 55075C
serial no: B010252

The tag also states that it is manufactured in belgium.

There is nothing wrong with the engine, just curious as to what exact year is.

Cheers

55075C is a 1979 model. You have been had!

correct fuel mix is 50:1

currently recommended plugs are L78V Surface Gap or QL77JC4 gapped at 0.030"

Model year guide, parts catalog and exploded diagrams can be found at http://shop2.evinrude.com/Index.aspx?s1=f3a20045557873dda0beadcbdeb62302&catalog_id=0&siteid=1

Although the model number is in the model year guide it is not listed in the parts catalog .... often the case for Belgium made engines. Quote the number if ordering parts
