    Moly Lube

    Is possibly the "moly lube" sold by evinrude for the drive shaft spline the same as "moly graphite" sold by local auto stores? I've always gotten a little tube water pump rebuild kit...but this time I just purchased the impeller...with no lube. Mas

    Conversion to 2-line Pressure Tank

    Can a single line metal tank be easily cut to accept the guts of a two line without welding up the extra holes? If so, which metal tanks are the best candidates. Basically, I have a very rusted (inside & out) two line Johnson tank. I was thinking the larger assembly of the two-line tank would...

    "New" '57 Lark Crankcase update with pics

    With the help of others pointing me in the right direction, I was able to split the case halves and see what I've gotten myself into. Concerning rust, the news is GREAT! :) There was no rust on the crank bearing surfaces or bearings themselves. This put the project in forward motion. The...

    "New" '57 Lark Gearcase Update w/pics

    Well, today I tore into the gearcase to see if I had a bucket of rust. I drained the gear oil that I temporarily added, and it looked rather clean. The nine screws holding the lower half easily came out...so that was a good sign too. I rapped the skeg with a rubber mallet and opened it up to...

    "New" '57 Lark Update w/pics

    Hi, Things are going well with removal and cleaning. I was able to free up the starter motor armature, clean up the commutator, clean the bearings and shaft. I put it all back together...and it works! But, not strong enough! The starter will easily turn the motor with the plugs removed..but...

    My "new" 35 HP Lark...1957?? with pics!

    Today I picked up a complete 35 HP Evinrude Lark. The price was right at $40. The motor was a mess...algae, rust from a 55 gal drum and sitting outside for who knows how many umpteen years. The motor would not turn over...thinking seized pistons, so I thought for the worst and saved the...

    Gasket adhesive remover??

    Hi, I have a non-OMC question, but I believe that it is generic enough to apply to any forum. I've posted the same question in the "other outboard" site, but it is not a "well-travel" section and I'm hoping to get some expert advice in short time. OK, I've got a Martin 7.5 that I've just...

    Gasket adhesive remover??

    OK, I've got a Martin 7.5 that I've just recently unstuck the lower piston. Now that everything is freed up, it's time to reassemble. Problem: The head gasket is "cemented" to the recessed portion of the aluminum head where it is impossible to get any tools to work it. Plus, the mating...

    Martin 7.5 Twist shift

    I've been trying to rebuild a Martin 7.5. The lower piston is seized due to water. I was able to pick up another powerhead for cheap...but the pistons were seized as well due to water. I do not know if I've got bad luck or if water entry was a problem with these Martins!? Question: Where is...

    Martin 7.5 Twist shift

    I'm trying to remove the drive shaft & mid leg from a Martin 7.5 Twist-Shift. I have already gotten the LU off. Does the shaft just slide out...and doesn't because it's frozen in place....or I'm I missing something here? Also, I did disconnect the neutral linkage from the small inspection...
