    What T2 said … be sure that there is absolutely no fuel leakage under that front cover.  A word on spark plugs and wires… stray sparks are how fires start., ensure that the wire insulation is in good shape and ring terminals secure.  A word about spark plugs… Zephyr takes a Champion J6. Now the modern version of these plugs have a bit longer porcline body than the older ones. This puts the exposed wire terminal closer to the front cover, a problem? maybe. But just to be safe I run an equlivant heat range plug with a short body. Champion makes such but I have had good luck running NGK BM7A’s.  Just be sure that the plugs that you buy have threaded studs to accept the spark plug rings terminals.

    Forge ahead, no fear!  Zephyr’s are fun motors and good runners.
