So bought an old motor off a guy for ten bucks. Its and old Evinrude outboard. Not sure what year, or horse power. The cowl says "Lark" on it. I had a lot of fun working on my 52 evinrude 15 last winter. I have so much gratitude for the folks who where beneficial throughout the process.
I am ready to do it again. I will need help.
Condition of motor:
- laying in yard for who knows how many years.
- put on stand. blew out dirt and grit.
- decent amount of oil dripped out of the lower unit as it stood.
- cowl was full of all kinds of dirt and debris. Spark plug wires shot, electric ignition wires shot.
- Motor also has pull start. With motor in gear pulling slowly on starter motor turns freely and prop turns.
What should I do to this thing? Where should I start?
My goal, or wish, is to get this motor running....If it can be revived.
there is some rust but all moving parts seem to work. though many springs and other such parts rusted out and gone.
