The Champion 1J was the first motor they designed and built themselves. Prior to that Champions were made by Scott-Atwater. There are really a lot of 1Js around (at least in Minnesota) so they are not worth much. They run great, with a distinctive sound and troll amazingly slow, but don’t pivot around to back up. The 1J was made in 1946 and 1947. Most of them have the side panels and rear spark plug cover missing.
