    Airguide Speedometer Help

    Hi I am trying to find information about an Airguide "Jeweled Contralog Movement" speedometer. It is 0-30mph with black numbers and a gray and white background. The needle is black with an orange tip, the housing is chrome. On the back is P4592 which is the only part/model type number I can...

    During which year/years was the Lark III made?

    Hi I recently acquired an Evinrude model number 35933. The cowl says it is a Lark III and the model number seems to confirm that it is a 40hp from 1962. I have been finding conflicting information as to whether the Lark IV or Lark III was made in 1962. It is entirely possible that the cowl got...

    Mark 5 Coil

    Hello I have mostly worked on 1950's Evinrudes and Johnsons but somehow ended up with a buddy's Mark 5 in my basement. The engine had been seized and whether or not to continue with it was in question. After removing the head of the thing I was able to free it up and get it moving again. There...

    58 Sportwin

    Does anybody have the Napa part number or even a Sierra number for a lower unit seal kit for a 1958 Sportwin? Can't seem to keep the oil in the thing. I would like to get the kit rather than ordering the individual parts. How about the carb kit? Thanks!

    Johnson QD Shift Rod

    Does anybody know if a QD 15 shift rod (upper and lower) would work with a QD 19? I know the lower units are different but I don't have a qd 15 manual to check the part number against. The upper and lower shift rods on the qd 19 are 305321 and 305319 respectively. If anybody can tell me with...

    Johnson QD 19 Lower Unit

    I am in the process of replacing the shift rod on a Johnson QD 19 and was about to put the skeg back on when I realized that I don't remember or didn't notice the orientation of the tab on the inside end of the gearcase head/bearing assembly. Neither the skeg nor the lower unit housing itself...

    Johnson QD-19 Shift Rod Problems

    Just acquired two Johnson QD 19's in a one week span. The first is seized but I picked it up for parts in anticipation of the second QD 19 that mostly runs. The second has a broken shifter rod but otherwise runs well. Turns out both the upper and the lower shifter rods are in bad shape and...

    Decoding a model number

    On a Johnson CD 13A does the "A" mean that it is a long shaft?

    Trying to find a float for a 1953 Evinrude Lightwin 3hp?

    I've been able to find carb kits without floats all over the internet but cannot find a float specifically for my Lightwin. The old part number, from 1953, is 375919. Is there a way to translate the old number to a new number or kit. Doing so for the carb gaskets proved to be easy but not so...
