Man, what a deal! This is my first post here; I’ve enjoyed and learned from reading here. A lot! 2 thoughts on your Javelin: 1) I have a ’57 BigTwin 35 Evinrude that has become a parts motor for my ’56 Lark 30hp. It appears to me that the compression relief system is only intended to make it easier to pull start the motor. I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you, but if you want all that linkage and stuff, it’s available. 2) If the seller hasn’t thrown it away yet, drive over there like a bullet and get all the controls, wiring, junction box, dash panel switches/bezels etc that you can find that go with your motor. Often, that stuff gets thrown out and it can be a pain to find later.
Congrats on your awesome deal! And frankly, it looks to me like the bug has already bit you!
