Here I am again! I have another problem. While checking out my spark problem, I noticed my steering is off. If I turn the wheel from the center, the travel is 1 1/2 turns to the left. Turning from the center to the right, it only turns not quite 1 1/4 turn. With it disconnected from the drag...

Hi, Helpers! Need more help please :(! My problem is that when I fully advance the spark rod, it runs rough and pings (rattles) and vibrates. With it fully retarded, it idles fairly well -- no noise or vibration! It starts to make a difference at about 9 o'clock on the quadrant. Timing is right...

Working on '31 generator, replaced field windings, bushings, bearings, brushes, etc. except armature which checked out good. Bench test 8-10 volts on volt meter but it really gets hot to the touch. Could the motor be turning the generator too many RPM's? Brushes make a noise sometimes like...
