Latest find – 1959 Evinrude Lark

[lindy46]

Picked this one up for $120 complete with harness and keyswitch. Has good compression and everything under the flywheel has been replaced already. I cleaned/set the points and cleaned the carb. I did have to reseal the gearcase and new impeller. This is going to be a keeper – hopefully I can find a nice late 50’s Glasspar to put it on. Finished painting the cowl – pics attached. I’m missing one of the “Lark” badges. Hopefully I can find one. A fun project.

Got the motor running. She starts right up and idles good in the test tank. I just finished painting her. Another one saved!

That’s a nice looking motor!

Prepare to be boarded!
