I got a letter for Jim on the other side


Jim
   I know you are having trouble that I had
when I was your age.  I wanted to drive.
Anything just as long as it had a motor.
so if you take good care of the motor scooptr you can use it all you want. You can have a real good time on it.  When the other guy are walk, you are riding. but you got to get these thing for it
1. a spark plug
2. 2 qt of oil (good oil)
Take the old oil out. then put 1 cup of oil with 1 cup of Kero. I let it run for 1 min then drain again then put the good oil in.
I sured run great.  good luck + I hope you have a good time on it. if you have as much fun has I had you will have a ball

   love
   Jack
