I have a 1962 evenrude 40 hp lark, manual shift, elect start, belt drive 12v generator. Want to replace the voltage regulator and starter selinoin in the original controll box. The original part numbers turn up nothing. Both look like the common parts you saw on car firewalls back in the day...

Prep near done, about ready for primer. That means a decision. Which primer, read your primer article on site. Better to ask in this case. The panels have good sound paint. Clean and finish sanded to 320 grit. Some bare aluminum exposed where they were scratched or chiped. Those spots were...

Thanks Johnny. If I fail it won't be do to lack of tools. My mother in law was an acomplished crafter / artist in her later years. The room full of stuff is still there. Tons of small detail "stuff" including magnification and light. Following your advice I do'nt expect a proplem with the side...

Your example looks great. I'm ready to learn.

1962 Lark IV. You guys got me to the right paint. Now whats the trick to get it on the cowl trim panels? They are stamped aluminum with all the logo raised and painted white, the parimmiter is also raised but polished aluminum. The flat background is painted Gun metal gray. All the metal is in...

According to the book this '62 Lark is Gun metal gray, Tempo # 6102, long gone. Took Pappy's advise. Like he said expensive, 'bout a 100 bucks. Found a spot under cowl trim in good shape. Took it to the local O'Reighlys for a scan. They got a match. Their color is "Sohobraun" for a 2015 Audi of...

I have a 1963 Evinrude Lark IV. Completed the re build and ready for paint. Do'es anyone know the the #, or name of the original green? Power head and all under cowl paint is original and shiny perfect! outside is worn and scrached. Want to get as close to original color as possible. Any advice?

And check the oil in the lower unit befor you run it. May not have a pee hole to see if water is circulating so keep a close eye on over heating. Great simple bullet proof little engine all it ever wants is lube and cooling.

Nice hull, love the style. Now that you have a pneumatic buck riveter you can probably find a buck rivet large enough to fill the holes. Take a look a jay-cee sales. www.rivetsinstock.com. Some thing I learned restoring old airstream trailers. With aluminum hulls you can cover some serious blems...

No telltale on this engine, that concerns me. Don't want to risk an over heat. That link helps a lot, thanks. The rubber hose to the auto choke is as follows. Fitting into water jacket #1 cly [top] near head. Rubber hose attaches goes to auto choke controll housing, exits fitting on choke...

Ok, sounds like a solution looking for a problem. I won't bore holes in a perfectly fine cav plate unless I need to, thanks. As for the temp sending unit for a gauge I'm not to keen on boring & taping the water jacket. Would a brass T in the rubber water line that runs through the auto choke work?

You get a friend or two, go down to the shop and start a wood fire in the furnace. Gather up your mowers, saws, tillers ,wackers, boats and anything else that needs repair and maintenance for next summer and get it done. After the shop is so hot you have to open a door wearing only a tee shirt...

I'm just finishing up a '62 Lark 40hp. I'd like a temperature gauge on it. Nothing I've ever done, any advice. Especially how / where to install a sending unit? 2nd question. Have a donor engine with the add on rubber fins attached to the cav plate,[ what do you call those things]. Anyway what...

I have the data cord, Etrex Legend to computer. Lost and just ordered the data cord, nuvi 50 lm to computer. I have no smartphone ect. to connect to the net on the water and can't see one in the future. Been searching the net to see if there's a way to marry the etrex to the nuvi to use the nuvi...

I use a Garmin Etrex. Doe's the job but that screen is a bit small. Sounds like the nuvi 50 won't do what I need.

I have a Garmin nuvu 50 LM GPS. 3 yrs old never used. I've been searching the net to see if there is any way it can be utilized on a boat for navigation & fishing. Can't find a thing. Any suggestions?

Supermarine two-part urethane SM-266, color 401MT, 1 gal w/hardener. Polyamide Epoxy primer SM-7390, 1 gal each component A and B. 1 qt interlux 4279 primer. 1 qt interlux interdeck YJB000 white. Bought the boat from a guy in over his head, he bought this to paint it. Suppose to be a match for...

Any body tried Cyclo brand #C800 primer on an outdrive. Says cold galvanize. 98% zinc, then says all the same things as a Zinc Chromate rattle can. Color is lite gray, only $11.00 a can ?

For me a "well done engine" is sound on the inside and tidy on the outside. I "expect" the best I can do with what I have to work with. Pappy, I took your advice seriously. Removed the side plates, carbon but what shows looks OK. I just had to remove the head. Its true & waterways look fine...

Yep, checked the archives and posted the question last week. Some good sound advice but if anybody knows the #s they're not fessing up. FREE BEER for anyone that can give me the answer! Otherwise I'm gonna have to strip one down, check / mic the bores and re-ring just to see what it can give.
