Might have been wood on the grip, but it was missing from mine when I got it.
And your timer is bent out of shape, no doubt. Probably risky to try and straighten it that much tho.

You mentioned once before that my timer handle is bent, and you’re probably correct,
but I’ll be darn if I can find any evidence of damage on it. Regarding the timer lever,
I need to look at that spring loaded button on the handle…….. sure doesn’t look
like a wire hooks to it, but if not, no idea what it’s for.
There is a “slotted”, steel stub on the transom mount, that I assume a ground wire
attaches to. On Jack’s site there’s a photo of a battery box with original wiring, etc.,
and at least one of the wires appear to have forked end, that looked like it would
attach to said slotted steel stub.
My motor must be newer than yours, as I see you have the knob on the flywheel.
Doubtful if my rope plate is original.
Also your photo reminds me that I’m missing the exhaust cut-out. I’ll have to find
some close-up photos of one to see if I can fabricate one.
Thanks!
Prepare to be boarded!
