A light lubricating oil has been used in the cyl to prevent corrosion and a small bit of grease is in the lower unit gears for protection. *Selling this motor as “non-running” due to its age and it being stored/displayed indoors currently. This motor would be a great addition to any marine collection, outboard collection, nautical museum, restaurant, cabin or man cave! I’m not sure how many Cubs have survived but the ones I do find for sale or available are either missing critical parts and will never run again, damaged beyond repair (parts motor) or restored in a manner that is unacceptable and not correct. The Cub seems to have lower production numbers when compared to its bigger brother the Pal. The original ignition system is in wonderful shape a new spark plug wire has been installed, points cleaned, lubricated & adjusted and period correct NOS Champion J4 plug installed.

The motors internals are strong, great compression and turns over very smoothly. The gas tank has been restored professionally with master metal workmanship, straightened, braised and repaired without bondo or automotive fillers and internally sealed to prevent any form of leaking. Some light polishing on the flywheel, prop, mixture lever, throttle advance and tiller arm has been done. High temp dull aluminum paint has been used on the entire motor and PPG paint on the gas tank. Many hours of work have gone into the restoration of this motor.

There has been no shortening, excessive polishing, nickel plating, chroming or wild “fantasy” style paint jobs and decals. This motor has not been “modified” in any way shape or from. This motor has been 100% restored stressing period correctness and being authentic to how it would have looked at the dealership in the 1930’s/40’s.
