Just remove those 4 flat head screws below the white band, under the tank….that will let you take off the lower cowl… Nice motor

maybe… M means military ??? grade ??? somebody knows ! the above link for a JW22 had a FOLDING model listed
looks pretty much like the folding JW pull the flywheel check coils for major cracks, clean contacts change condensers and gear oil
2-3 drop of oil of the felt pad rubbing the crankshaft ! Check fuel filter inside fuel tank and check closely in the fuel cap for holes for proper venting..
carb likely needs a clean-up to
should last another 50 years GREAT kickers for trolling and NOT ROWING 🙂

Is there a screw in the carrying handle that must come out also in order to split the lower cover apart??
April 24, 2026 at 11:32 am #316330And yes indeed, this is a nice motor…. Please be very careful with the case, they are delicate and will break/crack easily, especially with age. You must be very careful about how you pick it up/set it down as well. That little tip at the bottom of the gearcase skeg can be very delicate, very easy to snap it off. Once that piece gets snapped off, the gearcase will no longer clamp in the folded position….

classicomctools@gmail.comApril 24, 2026 at 3:08 pm #316353see parts diagram link provided it shows a bolt to split the handle if you have to.
these small kicker can get real hot is a tub because if they run fast and they whip cream the water the aerated water does not cool them to well.
pulled the FW yet to check coils and all electricals ?
