Coverage and service-data limits
Common carbureted two-stroke Johnson and Evinrude outboards within 1.25–60 HP, 1973–1989, with additional guidance for the 60 HP three-cylinder family, 1986–1991. The extension applies specifically to that family and does not extend every smaller engine through 1991.
This is not a complete model-by-model torque, calibration or machining specification catalog. Critical settings not reliably established are identified as requiring matched service data. Illustrations and the engine map are representative; confirm the exact assembly and procedure before work.
