Re: Identification Help Lark V
You'll need a manual for your motor. The best is the OEM service manual, which you can order from marineengines.com or the Ken Cook web site. Second best is the Seloc manual that covers that year and motor, but it's not nearly as good. It does have a good wiring diagram, however.<br /><br />Wiring is always troublesome. The connectors for the remote wiring are not available as new parts, so we're all stuck with used stuff.<br /><br />Outboard wrecking yards, like tcoutboard.com, are our friends. They often have parts for these old fellows.<br /><br />More common parts like ignition, carburetor, and cooling system parts are readily available from your Evinrude/Johnson dealer or from Sierra Marine, through any NAPA dealer.<br /><br />By all means, though, get the factory manual. You'll need it for lots of things. It's cheap for what it offers, even at about $40.<br /><br />When searching here for info, use search terms like "Lark" and "RDS" and "RK". The latter two because the Johnson motors of the same period are identical, and there are lots of posts on them...more than for the Evinrude.<br /><br />The more specific your questions, the better we'll be able to help you.<br /><br />These are great ouboards!
