what a beauty.... Welcome to Iboats here is some info for this easy to maintain troller
you need this book evrything is in there for maintenance of your jw

your coils are likely all cracked, condensers bad and points may need just a clean-up ( new points have caused some problems ) ..see sections on magneto repairs... all easy work and
great learning project. all parts available to refurbish but looks like it had lots of TLC :)
lots of uyube info also
btw change impeller and gear oil ! when you work on the magnetothere is a small felt and clip serves to lubricate the cam ... do not loose the clip $$$$

Others such as myself! I was given a JW-18R by a lady whose husband had passed before he got to fiddling with it, much. I needed the initial breaker points gap and I am very grateful for the replies here. I ain't hijackin, just sayin thanks!

Tallyho! . . .
