[SEL] Cushman Cub Status

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Hi List,
Well, I got my Christmas present a little ahead of time this  year.  The 
Cushman, I picked up last week end, is now running.  I have  to thank Bert (my 
local magneto repairman) and Ron Haskell.    Bert let me borrow his Wico EK 
factory service manual to copy.  Ron  explained how to retard the spark for 
starting.  The Wico was disassembled  to clean the points and to install a new 
condenser (.10 mfd @ 600 volts -  mylar).  The Wico now produces a nice blue spark.  
However, I still  need to install lubricating strips (felts) on the upper and 
lower  surfaces of the moving point deck.  
In addition, the fuel tank was a mess and had to be cleaned.   Question - is 
there a check valve in the fuel pickup tube?  If so, where is  it located?
