      Thanks everyone for all the tips on this Lark. It’s running well now. Trolls ok but not the slowest. But the issue i’m having is that the cowl clamps keep ratting open. Can I replace the spring in the cowl clamp? Has anyone thought of a better solution than two small pieces of electrical tape.

              The problem is not likely the clamp, but the rubber bumpers being worn or missing. Once refreshed, the cowl is much tighter and the clasps will likely snap better.
