    1991 Evinrude VRO 40hp No Spark

    Why is this old school guy even trying to work on this new-fangled motor:eek: Because my neighbor asked - seems I've developed a reputation in the neighborhood and word spreads quickly.

    1958 Evinrude Lark Color Scheme

    Hi All: I'm restoring a 1958 35hp Evinrude Lark and have been unable to find any color photos or illustrations of this motor. I know the basic colors, but there are chrome strips on the sides of the cowl that have "Evinrude" embossed in them. Just wondering if anyone knows what color the...
