TOPIC: Johnson Manuals and Model Years

I just ordered a factory manual. The supplier didn't have the manual for the 85ML78 as they originally claimed but called and said they could send me an 85EL78 manual. They said they called Bombadier and they told them the manual would be find for the 78 model year. My question is to anyone who might know, is what is the difference between the EL and ML model numbers?

If that is a small motor most likey ML is manual start and EL is electric start.
