Re: You guys are gonna love this.
Yea, the electric shift came out in 1962 as the 35932 and 55933 model. The manuals were made at the same time as well as the35530 and 35531. The Big Twin was under the 35028 and 35029 model numbers. Quite a few changes took place in '61 as far as wiring and stuff. The automatic choke and single jet screw carb came out in '61 and some changes were made in the throttle advance linkage. In '62 the powerhead was completely changed and the electric shift was debuted, but if you set the Lark III and Lark IV together, the appearance was the same, with the exception of the motor cover. The '61 Lark still had the "50's looking rib on the side, kinda like the '58 RDS had. That was also the year that Evinrude changed the style of cover, which was in production up into the 70's. The homely looking fiberglass cover on '59 and '60 was a style that was short lived. LOL
