Just picked this up at a meet…

1925 Super Elto “J” Model. Tank is in very nice condition, other than obvious rust. I will blast all of that off once it warms up a bit.

Wondering a good starting point for this one. The gear case was kind of a mess, and I thought it was completely thrashed. I took the prop off to find it was only the prop shaft seal that had gone bad.

I would like to restore/polish this one back to looking cherry, and any advice would be great.

I have ordered a military coil and I have some OMC standard condensers, so I will be rebuilding the coil. I presume it is bad, have not tested it yet however.

Does anyone have any advice on the prop shaft seal? Not sure where I am going to find one.

The timer is also very damaged, when I pulled the flywheel the timer ring was broken, and so was the casting where the rotating mechanism is held.

This is the damaged timer, but the points seem to click when I manually spin the rotor

^^ Damaged prop shaft seal

Front view of the motor. Seems to be in nice shape for being 100 years old.
