This was a sled that George remembered as being a fast and furious sled back in its day.  Stephen remembers looking at pictures in the family photo albums of this sled at the factory dealer show at the old Highway Motel in Concord, NH.   Stephen bought this sled off of Matt Spiece just outside of Springtown, Pennsylvania.   It didn't run at the time of purchase and it ended up baffling George for several years.  It turned out to be a bad internal ignition coil.  Thanks to Ray Walters of Delanson, NY a used ignition coil was found.  This sled also has surface gap plug which are very difficult to find.
