It's been a few years since I have been to this site (7 years?, life keeps getting in the way!), to update the progress, but I finally finished the 1958, 14.5 ft Owens speed ship. The only thing I haven't quit figured out is with the 56 Javelin. I realize this was a push to start button and choke to stop, but I put a key switch on it, and I keep taking out the magnito to magneto on the ignition switch (going on my third switch), after it starts, there is no longer any continuity from magento to magento, so the key switch in the off position will not turn off the motor, I use a choke to stop it. If anyone has any clues or insight I would appreciate any feedback to this problem..

Seems after I put in the key switch and turn the motor over a few time, I know longer have continuity from magneto to magneto. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
