Re: 1957 Lark 35 hp

Hard to say how fast it "should go", even with all the details such as weight, weight distribution, surface area of the hull etc. I got about 26 mph full out with my ’59 35 hp Evinrude on a 14 foot, welded aluminum (’68 Crestliner Sea Scout ).

The carb settings are just to get the motor started. The low and high speed need to be adjusted while underway on the boat. You will need an assistant to drive while you dial the carb in. When you get the needles set right the motor will sing.Instructions on how to do this can be found in many service manuals. I’ll try to track one down and post the link. Hang tight. 😉
