  1. Two brothers that I used to know collected odd ball and orphan cars. they had several Powells, including one wagon,, My neighbor in Castaic Ca had three and the remains of a couple in his yard. They are probably still there. Another friend had one in Kernville Ca and it burned in a wildfire. I had a Powell scooter about 50 years ago

    Find an old small engine or outboard dealer that has a Stevens coil machine or similar.  We used Stevens coil test machines on Johnson/Evinrude outboards to test coil output and find defective coils leaking primary voltage off to ground, opens, etc.  The engine in the Cushman is likely a Wisconsin.  

    The engine is a Cushman Husky. Cushman always built their own engines until the OMC merger. Be sure the crank seal protrudes a quarter inch to properly center the mag stator plate

    The shocking thing to me is how few today are Vets. Less than half a percent of the population is what I've been told. 

    No damn wonder we get mixed up in things we shouldn't.

    My time with Sam did not involve any real sacrifice and has been a benefit to me  everyday since. 

    I sacrificed a year but it has paid dividends. The VA has treated me well for over 55 years with world class medical care
