    Yup, you’re right, it’s unreadable.  Check the block for a nickel-size freeze plug, the model ID may be there.  In any event, yours is from ’84 into the ’90s, I doubt there’s a lot of difference from one year to the next.   Go to Marineengine.com, pick a year and look at the parts breakdown.  BTW, I think you might have picked a simpler motor to start on, if memory serves just getting the carb off yours is a minor PITA.  I’d recommend looking for a service manual, maybe a Seloc,

    Yes, the carburetor is needlessly more complex than the simple one it replaces.  The synconization/linkage adjustments on this engine is a pain as well.  Find most any OMC service parts manual from 1986-1988 for the best information.  I looked for a picture of your ID plate to pinpoint the year, but didn’t see one.  D
