Re: 1961 larkIII

You will get better help over in the Evinrude/Johnson section.Or outboard
discussion not repair.Would be great to get a test run on a boat in a tank is ok but not a conclusive test.Do a compression check,100 psi is considered minimum.and within 10% between cylinders.find out what new parts are involved.Wouldn't hurt to check lower unit lube.
