I believe my 40hp Evinrude Lark needs a new impeller. I did not see water coming out of the pee-hole when I ran it in a garbage can full of water. I do not feel confident in taking an engine apart and fixing things that I am not familiar with. Sometimes more harm can be done if one doesn’t know what he is doing, and more time wasted. I am just looking for someone that has a good familiarity with fixing these old engines. Someone who recognizes other potential problems while working on the engine. This would make it less likely for the engine to fail when out on the water. I don’t have time to learn the intricacies of these engines. They may seem simple and easy to some, but not to all. So when replacing the impeller, I would ask that a basic cleaning/tune-up be done. Thank You.
I would have to agree with fleetwin. Someone gets in above their skill level and another basket case motors is created.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
