Everyone,

Edwin is my grandson, and age 14 I bought him a Jr. Membership. He’s really gotten the bug and has done a Mighty Mite that had a broken carb flange….It now runs great.. The 2 Zephyrs will certainly be a challenge for him, so any advice is well appreciated as those motors are way newer than what I tinker with. He has a Johnson 3 I picked up that we went through and he ran it for 8 miles!

This is what the club is about, —members helping member!

George that is really good to know!   Your grand son there has a challenge for sure!  Those carburetors on those Zephyrs are something crazy.  Be sure to heed JB warning about fires.  I will suggest to find some shorty spark plugs maybe J17LM champions or an equivalent.  Also some spark plug hoods for the plug wire ends.  The plugs and wires are to close to the front cover.   Don’t want no sparks in that area!

thanks for doing what you do!
