Hi I am new to the forum and new to an old 1956 Evinrude Lark 30hp (sn#25526 50312).
THe older gentleman I bought it from said it ran great and I looking forward to putting it on my 1956 Feathercraft Ranger.
A couple of hurdles to get over first.
THe wiring harness coming off the motor was cut clean.
It came with a next of wires and a rough looking transom box - there is no ignition switch.
I cleaned the "nest" up a bit but still cannot make sense of it - even when referencing a wiring diagram.
To be honest there seems to be far more wires than I would have estimated.
My questions:
The transom box says for 12 volt systems - I believe the 1956 was a6 volt system. Is there anyway to confirm if the motor has been converted already?
In addition to the main large gauge wires that run to the battery and starter, there are several small (almost tiny) gauge wires that are going from postive to negative battery cables.
To help me sort this mess out, does anyone have pictures of the actual wires adn wiring system (I am not sure can align what I am seeing to the wiring diagrams that I have downloaded from this site?
thanks in advance guys,
