Very nice!! I have a JW13 that sat for 20 years, but runs. I think I have a plug wire that is shorting sometimes when lever is below start position. I can hear it jump spark sparaticly under the flywheel. Any ideas? Do you know where to get new plug wires? Can just wires be replaced? Thanks for any advice.
So what do you use for baseline carb settings for the high and low speed? I can never remember year to year what I used last year and always fight with it.

It has to be metal core plug wire car plug wire that have graphite won't work. You can get some at most lawnmower repair shops.

It's the same one that I took to the Lake Wales meet. I ran it over 3 hours that day and it didn't let me down once.

I think that Lightwins/JW's have to be some of the most dependable outboards ever made!!
