I have a 6 blade plastic from Brattons and so far I can't tell but I'm still trying to figure out why I can drive it fine at a slow speed but when I start to go over 25 mph it starts backfiring at the carb. Hopefully once I fix that I can see if there is a difference with the fan. I had a 4...

In the process of working on my car the horn worked before and now it does not I mean when I had it all buttoned up and ready to ride and and it worked and now all of a sudden it won't work. How can I check if the horn rod is working, and also what is the piece that couples to the steering...

I checked the top of the carb and sure enough it was warped so I filed it down a bit and then rebuilt the carb and put it back on and it runs like a top. But for some reason the screw that adjusts the throttle opening is too short, anyone know what type of screw would work by any chance, the...

I'll have to check that out, how tight should the carb be? Mine has had the threads stripped but I put nuts under the carb to tighten it up

Ok everything looks good except I cannot get the carb adjusted right and it backfires at the carb, what would make it do that? Should I rebuild it?

And I replaced the gasket from the intake exhaust to the block

I'll have to check that this weekend, I have to write a paper this weekend for school then I will check it again this weekend. If I have cross threaded something, is the carb ruined? I am trying to find some spare parts to keep on hand, I just can't see buying a whole carb from Brattons, or...

I just replaced the exhaust gasket and wanted to know if I just missed a section of the Les Andrews book on the process of replacing the gasket. My other question is when I took the carb off and now putitback on the fuel line was very tight going into the carb and also still is leaking, any...

It did come with a sheet and I ordered it from Brattons. I was running the car at first and it was squealing from the belt and I assumed the water pump was dry, but my great uncle who was helping me get it running said to just run it for a while and I did the next day and the squealing stopped...

I had o get a new water pump, the old one cracked and I was just wondering is there anything that needs to be done after I get it, the pump is on the car and I just could use some advise. I just finished rebuilding the top part after a blown head gasket and I'm just worried about water not...

Just an update for anyone who is interested, I have successfully replaced the head gasket and had to fix a broken stud and then a wiring harness and now today I am waiting on a new water pump because the fan would not come off of the pump and I broke the pulley and also notice that my water pump...

Thanks thats exactly what I was hoping for was some advice, thankfully my great uncle thinks that it might be just the head gasket and I would trust him considering he has 3 A's and our local MARC Members come to him

Ok I will do that I'm be doing this tomorrow hopefully if my parts come

The oil pump is right and pumping, I took the screw out and hand cranked the engine and oil came out

What should I check and how? What should I be looking for?

To my knowledge the car was not ran dry, my uncle and I got it to run by making a wire that allowed it to run and he said water was coming from exhaust. Then my great uncle who rebuilds model a's told me it was a head gasket problem.

I had the oil plug fixed by welding a repair kit on it. I have to replace the head gasket now because I did not have any water in it. I know I will receive a lot of flac for that but I cannot help what I did, I would like any advice on replacing the head gasket that anyone gives. I can tell that...

Thanks for all the input I have not checked here in a while because of time and priority, but I have found a local person who is helping me step by step figure out what is wrong, unfortunately I have to believe my head gasket needs replacing, but not sure

The oil pump is in and did not fall out I said a little trouble because we thought it needed a rope seal but it has the modern rubber timing seal and thus did not leak from front like I was concerned, and the dipper tray is in there. How would I know if the carb check valve is open? It ran...

What is the dipper tray? Is that the lining inside the oil pan?
