    A previous generation 9.8 or 6 hp donor motor should work. Not sure how far back you can go. There should be some powerheads around since the lower units were a bit weak. It’s probably a good idea to take your lower unit apart to make sure it’s in good condition before going through the trouble of swapping the ignition.
