Moved to JohnnyRude forum. We keep the Boat section free of engine/motor topics . . . Good luck!

The OEM service manual should have it. Also, I know the Clymer manual for that model will have it mixed in with whatever other models the book covers. (The Clymer and Seloc manuals cover a lot of models for years at a time, so you need to be careful with what your looking at.) Good luck...

Your best bet is a factory manual for your engine.

I've got the Clymer for this motor. The wiring diagram is in there. It is for the years 57-68 I believe.

See, that is why they have such a bad reputation. The diagrams are not alike for that many years. Heck, a '57 doesn't even have a key switch. And '67-up doesn't have a junction box.

I am not a fan of aftermarket manuals, but sometimes the Clymer, Seloc, etc. manuals do have useful wiring diagrams that are year/model specific.

'65 Lark would be 40hp.
yes, thank you.
previous owner had put a 35 hp shroud on this engine.
this has been an interesting project, considering we are total rookies.

See the following Clymer manual.

Evinrude/Johnson Outboard Shop Manual
1.5 - 125 HP 1956 - 1972
Publication Number B734
Pp: 355 & 356


Those pages cover the 1961 - 1966, 40 hp electric shift with generator and the 1961 - 1966, 40 hp with generator (mechanical shift).
