Thanks for the welcome and information Dale. It seems that as a newbie I should start with another motor to tinker with, so I am with a 1953/54 Seahorse JW-10 and just got good spark on the top cylinder.  I’ve read the 4404’s are kind of difficult to work on.  Found it odd that I didn’t need a puller for the flywheel as it seems they were designed for easy removal by just backing of the nut. And the use of a metal water impeller is interesting. Hope yours are runners and you find/make the time to enjoy them.

My pre1950’s motors don’t get run to much.   I am more into the classic kickers.  These zephyrs can be a bugger but they are quiet and smooth runners.
