Re: 1957 Evinrude Lark questions

buying those electrical components piecemeal can get expensive. the parts are out there. try to find someone who can supply you with most everything you need at once.

your best bet may be to get a parts catalog for that motor. all the electrical parts you need will be listed. it’s a great way to familiarize yourself with that motor. i’ll see if I have it in my computer.

yep, missing the compression release actuating arm. it’s stainless steel. easy to find. (part #8 in the link diagram below) it feeds through a hole/slot in the top of the recoil cover and is attached to a plastic guide that rides in a groove on the starter pulley. makes starting the motor easier when you do it by hand.
