Re: need help

look under the the front of the engine, for a plate, should have model #. if not there, look on the top rear of the block for a round disc the size of a quarter. should have the numbers on it. then we can find what you have. and help you get it running.

The last year for the 35hp Lark was 1959. In 1960, the engine became a 40hp engine.

'playin around' I own a 59 35hp. had it out yesterday and caught a few perch and a small salmon. Everytime i take her out it impresses me how well she runs, especially for its age. The best part is when your at the dock and the guy next to you has a newer motor and he is cranking it over and over agian, and the old lark just needs a quick bump of the key and she purrin like a kitten. Take good care of her and she will run for many more years to come
