    Installing Lebanon Bonney ‘28 roadster top

    Re: Installing Lebanon Bonney ‘28 roadster top You do need those instructions. I don't think I have my old ones. You will need stainless steel staples so there's no rust, and a powerful staple gun. There is a good Synders youtube video of installation. Good luck. I'm sure it will look nice.

    Changing coolant for the winter

    If you know an older model a owner who always ran just water in the summer, make sure they get protected from freezing up. Some people just don’t feel like going out into the garage and have a lot of other things going on. It’s very easy to forget as health problems come along. One of our...

    Ticking noise

    Here is a video of one of our tours down into the Amish country in Ohio. One of our members had a manifold leak and this will show you how one sounds. The video is long, but the noise is shown fairly early and the repair in near the middle. https://youtu.be/ZRq_Rb2Ojp0

    Sure sounds like you need a new exhaust manifold gasket.

    Engine sputters and dies when at high rpms and under load

    Check the end of the fuel line. If it extends too far past the ferrule, it can hit the screen and restrict flow.

    Clutch pedal play was 1", now it's 2 1/2". What happened?

    Your clutch lever arm probably failed. It's common. Take a peek under.
