    question about two wires 1958 evinrude 35hp lark (video)

    Re: question about two wires 1958 evinrude 35hp lark (video) Here's a wiring diagram. Your starter cable looks a little ratty. If it's not compromised wrap it up to avoid unintentional grounding. Have fun!

    This motor and a little gale buccaneer (question about that one posted in "other outboards") have carbs that I have no experience with. I was wondering if anyone had a diagram of the carb. (yes you mr. Ott, man with a seemingly endless catalogue of parts manuals) The ignition is foreign...

    Gale Buccaneer 5 hp- 5D10B carb question

    I was curious if anyone had a diagram of the carb. Initial settings. Starting procedures. It's not getting fuel. I took it apart, redoped cork float. New packing in slow speed, Cleaned it, although the lack of fuel makes me think I did something wrong. It fires right up if I squirt some...

    I've pretty much had it with this motor. (if I really did you wouldn't be reading this post). All avenues that I know of have been exhausted, I could use some thoughts. Here's what's been done: -ignition- new coils and condensers, polished points, new marine plug wires set points, and new...

    cam follower roller-evinrude 18hp

    Have you "moderator's" considered creating an FAQ thread for emergency on the water fixes, as well as hardware store solutions? Alternate solutions to waiting for a part to arrive in the mail. I also believe that there is an incredible parts mark up. How packaging and a niche market can result...

The 7.5 I converted by removing the check...
