Helped a friend of a friend buy a Super Cub in California recently with a little over 100 hours on the engine with new Slick mags. They got it to Louisiana and were having a hard time starting it. Lots of ideas were floating around but checking the e-gap (internal timing) fixed it. Got a call yesterday from Fairbanks, same issue, same time on new Slick mags except it was when the engine was hot and something was said about temps being 20 below. A call to Joe Logie at Champion revealed that they have a problem. They don't know what is causing it (I have an idea) but the internal timing is advancing prematurely and once the e gap is set no problem. Just a heads up before you start throwing serious money at this problem that an hour and a $5 tool can remedy.
