Its sorta ugly but it’s a 100% complete Javelin.
The pivot on this motor seems unreasonably loose, I tightened the tension screw and that did not stiffen it up near enough. Note in the picture on the stand, it will not stay in between full pivot either direction, always to one side. Also, when off the stand, the whole pivot & clamp assembly slides up and down the pivot about 3/8″ which I’ve never seen before.

Has anyone else had a motor with these “symptoms” or know what could cause this?

I haven’t torn it apart yet but I’m guessing something is very worn out, the pivot looks heavily greased so hopefully none of the surfaces are worn out.

Luckily, according to the serial number I should be in the clear from the bad crank seal, but it’ll get a thorough tune up this spring. Maybe a paint job if I feel up to it.

Thanks,
Rex
