Just a note for the viewers that are starting their mechanical education or just getting into it: Most early gasoline engines had updraft carburetors (carbs that sucked air in below the intake) because floats and needle and seat development was kind of iffy at the time . In the event you overflowed your float bowl it would just run out of the carb instead of down the intake that would in turn hydrolock your motor with a cylinder full of gasoline or dilute you engine oil by running past the piston rings. Also for this reason most early cars had a gasoline shut off valve to cut the fuel off at the tank. In the case of Model T and A fords it was under the dash as the gas tank was located in the cowl under the windshield.

The slower you go the faster you get it done. Haste makes waste. You definitely have to be able to detach when you reach your limits. Going harder is usually not the solution. When Darren broke off the throttle lever that was a perfect example of going too far. He tried his luck and came away a loser. Don't rely on luck. If he'd started out heating and hitting it he'd have gotten it without breaking the lever off. It's what he ended up doing anyways.

Just trash those old fuse panels. I have tried to fix them with solder, might work for a bit then the solder breaks. Dissimilar metals. The problem is between the rivets and the tabs. One I tried to fix was off a old boat so I drilled out the rivets cleaned it all up. Put it back with screws. In a couple of years it was intermittent. Remember the meter is only putting a tiny current through the joint, with the actual current it might go open again.

@ModelARickLasCruces Жыл бұрын

A couple of other comments: you don't need to fill the radiator up to the neck. Just enough coollant to cover the core. If you can see water when you look down the neck, it's probably too full. Next, after you get the engine started, use the timing lever on the left side of the steering wheel to advance about half way. That will really smooth out the engine idle.

@twocvbloke Жыл бұрын

Problem with solder in automotive wiring is it'll eventually crack with all the vibration, so those fuse panels, either drill out those rivets & replace them after cleaning the terminals, or scrap 'em and fit some new (decent) ones, for longevity and to avoid any bad joints causing hotspots and potential for unintended flames... :P
