I also use solvent. Works great and lasts a long time. That's a nice gift!

Happy Birthday Bill! Glad you're back

Thanks for all the input guys. I'll clean my points and put fresh gas in it. Ron

My all stock A ran perfect last time I drove it. It has been resting for 3 months. Drove today and it misses and backfires . You guys think my gas has become bad or should I check for other problems. I forgot to add anything to thr gas when I parked it . Any ideas will be appreciated. Ron

I had to cut a little bit off of the spring. I think it was one coil of the spring. After that it went together fine and I've not had any problems with it .

Just a thought,but maybe you could go to a tool and equipment rental store and rent one of those inspection cameras. Good luck

nothing better in the morning than great model A photos and a cup of coffee. Thank you

A battery disconnect switch is money well spent. Put it in the cab under your feet for quick access. I just bought one from Bratton's and it was about $25

My Dad's A had the same problem. After trying everything I used Harley Davidson white wall cleaner. It turned them snow white. Only need to use it maybe 3 times a year. You can only buy it at the dealer. Costs less than $15

I had the same thing happen recently. My problem was the cut-out was faulty. You might try to use a jumper wire to by-pass the cut-out and then start the car to see if it's charging.

I noticed my amp gauge was not showing a charge. I thought my problem was the cut-out so I used a jumper cable to bypass the cut-out and it did show a normal charge. With nothing to loose I took the cut-out apart and found the diode to be good but the solder had broken. After re-soldering all is...

I always use a Battery Tender for storage. I found my 6V battery to be dead. Had it tested at the parts store and it showed bad. (4 years old) Put in new battery and drove it. I noticed the ammeter was showing 0 charge. I turned on the lights and it went to the usual discharge.Last time I drove...

Silly question, but I'm a little confused. What is the best way to hook up a battery charger to a 6 volt, positive ground? Thanks in advance Ron
