I've had this Lark II for a few years, and decided to try it out since my other motor went south. Previous owner told me that when it warms up it misses. I took it out tonight and found out what he was talking about. It doesn't feel like a miss in the motor, it feels like it jumps a tooth in...
I explained this to the local evinrude repairman, and he said he has never heard of this happening before, and has no idea what the problem is.

This is the 1970 evinrude triumph 60hp that I posted about a couple of weeks ago. The video shows what is...
Ok, anyone want to take a stab at this?
It died the other day on the river. Only running on one cylinder. No power. Dies when I try to rev it up.
I put in new plugs and checked the points, and verified the flywheel hasn't shifted.
I just tried it and it pops and backfires like it's out of...
Iv'e been reading various sites where people are talking about blueprinting racing boat hulls to get a few more mph from them. Could I get some definitions of terms I have run across, and what exactly they are talking about? These for now:
Sharpening Strakes and Chines,
Putting sharp edges on...
I have a 1963 14' Starcraft aluminum runabout that I am going to scrap in the next few days. I wanted to run it by you guys to make sure its not some collectors boat that should be salvaged.:confused:
It would be a nice project except for the following:
Two boats in the driveway, wife is...
Hi,
I am working on a 1970 Evinrude 60HP. This is the same engine from previous posts that has a bad compression reading on the #1 cylinder, 135, #2 165, #3 160.
I can't get it to idle smoothly. It always seems like one clylinder is cutting in and out.
Yesterday I disassembled and cleaned the...
A few weeks ago I took the sparkplugs out of my motor and thought for sure that someone had put the wrong ones in it. It has Champion L76V which turns out to be a surface gap plug. I had never seen that type of plug.
I checked the manual and sure enough it calls for that number.
I read the...
Just curious, if running at wot in a runabout and you crank the wheel full to the left or right, what is the result? Will it skip sideways, or flip the boat, or ? I pushed mine through some medium hard turns to see how it handles. I think it may have slid sideways a little. I'm afraid to...
I just checked the compression on this new to me 71 evinrude 60hp. The compression readings are as follows:
1: 150
2: 170
3: 169
What would you do?
Also, in several post this motor is called a looper. Could somebody explain what that means?
