The model # breaks down as follows:
J=Johnson (As opposed to E for Evinrude...both are OMC products.)
8=7.5 horsepower, rounded up similar to motorcycle cc's.
R=Rope start
CI=81, as in 1981 to answer your question.
C=Model run or suffix, which means nothing to us, at least as far as I can tell.
I have the same motor...hope that helps. ;)
