Hi all,recently I posted about this motor and an obvious hairline crack in the reed plate.After pulling the intake I discovered that it was at the top of the crankcase bleeder valve assembly area of the reed plate.During this process it became aware to me that a PO had more than likely tried to reuse the reed to block gasket and over torqed causeing this fracture.All new gaskets and a vintage reed plate along with proper reassembly has resulted in a fantastic running motor!We ran it saturday afternoon after crappie fishing that morning.
I know ya'll love pics...so do I and have plenty of this motor from the get-go and promise when I get my desk top back I will deliver them to the forom.Now I am in the process of tuneing a 1957 Johnson Javilin 35 RJE 19M.
I thank each you who contribute to this site.
