Reply To: 1957 Johnson Javelin Anchor Strap Installation

[Jeff Barsch]

Thank you, Richard, I was hoping it somehow attached to the pull starter cover to prevent it from being lost.  Fortunately, the spring plates still hold that cover tight when it is in place.

I looked over the cowling again last night and still have no clue where that strap is supposed to be connected.  Somehow anchor 4 connects to one end.  Is it supposed to be connected to the front carburetor hinged cover to limit how far that swings down?

Any insight would be appreciated.
