SUBJECT:  Modifications - S-28 Universal Junction Box

IMPORTANT!

Changes made to the electric starting 40 and 75 H.P. motors for 1964, and the addition of the 90 H.P. model to the line make modifications to the Stevens S-28 Universal Junction box necessary.

These changes are to accomodate the automatic choke override solenoid, and to provide the necessary resistance in the power source for ignition on battery ignition models.

As you have more than likely noticed the coil primary resistance wire has been removed from the motor. The resistance wire is now built in the wiring harness from the junction box to the key switch. Under no circumstances should 12 volts be applied directly to the ignition coil. This will cause severe arcing of the breaker points, and coil failure.

The modifications should be made, to your S-28 Universal Junction Box immediately.

Cost of the modification is $6.50 net. Send your unit, less the metal frame and detachable leads to -

A prepayment of $6.50 will cover this modification and will also eliminate return C.O.D. and handling charges. New operating instructions will be returned with your unit.

If you do not already have the S-28 Universal Junction Box in your shop, place your order today. The complete unit with all up to date modifications is available at $50.00 net. See Service Promotion Bulletin #341 dated November 8, 1963.
