The problem I'm facing is the Linkage ball from the pedal is much higher than the carb's linkage. (Low/no rise Fenton) So the swing of the linkage pulls up before pulling back..? Stretches the Stock link ends right out to the max before moving the carb. Feels terrible driving. Does anyone think...

Yeah. I know wishful thinking...Cooked the relay, changed to the st 53 solenoid. My buddy at Trautwein products...(need a windshield frame? That's where they come from) happened to have the relay. saved my butt. Even installed the newly restored radio that classic auto electric in Kansas did for...

I always use my parts washer. If you don't have one of those, and before I had mine, a simple pan of gas and a tooth brush does the job. Compressed air never hurt a bearing unless you spin them. We were taught that in HS shop! Saw one kid do it cause the noise was so cool, till the cage blew...

I was leaving the shop very frustrated, and I just threw the ohm's meter across the mounting bolts to ground and they did have cont. Then I put it on the wire connection to ground, however I did still have the main and Gen wires attached...I'm going to disconnect them this am and see if it's...

Yup Yup, My bad. I did have it back wards....Never both on the same tho. It's fixed now, but I still come back to that when I disconnect it completely the draw doesn't go away...I'd be happy to put a new relay on it (Anybody know where to get these????) just in case. I just checked something...

The solenoid I have is a Cole Hersee 6V 609?? hard to read the # made in good ole Boston Mass. Figure that has to be old!

Jseery- All original wiring except the starter, and the electronic directionals. Those added by Narragansett. Neg. battery was on one side of solenoid, starter on the other. 2 small poles. the one closest to the battery side was my start button, the other had a jumper to the starter side, I...

OK..Solenoid has 2 small poles. It was hooked up with bat. power on 1 side along with horn power, starter switch on small pole next to it, other large pole had starter wire, and incorrectly the main power lead. However, whom ever wired this start system up I just copied this part. They had a...

Oops, I meant to say the starter switch was connected to the + batt. terminal. Ground.

I didn't use it, it was here when I started. The car was upgraded to a 36 engine ages ago, I just rewired what was there. It is a 2 wire 6V. There was a jumper wire installed on it from batt. side to the nearest small terminal. The starter switch was wired to the other, and to the + batt...

Wow! Great offer Kevin. I'd rather come there. Maybe the customer will pay for the car and myself to come over... However I KNOW I can fix this, just mad that I have to! lol. No issues from the body shop. The problem surfaced before they even started work, and all they did was touch up the front...

Has no horns on the car. Well started reinstalling yesterday. Has one side now. Still draws. Had headlight fuse out yesterday, still had draw.

I so agree Richard! Just can't figure why it was fine for weeks before it went to the body shop, now this! I think I may have had the cutout relay wired wrong. But I ran it yesterday that way and it was charging...6.5V is enough right? I'm heading out in a bit to try all the suggestions. Just...

Makes sense, but mine discharges with the generator disconnected...

Thanks Richard. Been converted to another switch because of the motor swap. Has a modernish solenoid. Already checked ok...

Thanks for all the responses already! Will do all this AM. Kevin, in regards to the Cut out relay. I think it was like that because I was trying anything. If I did burn out the armeture why does it still charge when running? I was getting 6.4-5 Volts. That seemed good. Also why doesn't the draw...

I'll try to be as short as possible. You've all been very helpful in the past with this car.. My clients 33 Sedan Deluxe. 33 car 36 engine, 33 trans. I did a full chassis resto. and detail. NOTHING untouched. Repaired restored, detailed. Including a complete new wiring harness from Narraganset...

Yes, Mechanical brakes... After the last readjust they seem pretty good. They do worsen with heat, but what brakes don't. Think I have a combination of drums slightly large, and maybe a bit short push rod. Over all they are way better than they were, and hopefully will be even better when they...

Air Tex makes one I have had good luck with. It is flow through, works with 6 volt, And easy to plumb. I always install on the inside frame rail (Drivers) downhill from the tank. That way there should be fuel remaining in the line after shut down to prevent the pump from cavitating. I only use...

HHMMM, I didn't measure the drums as they looked really thick still and I didn't have a spec to compare it to. I only remove .010 on the lathe and they cleaned up real nice. The rears can't fit the machine. The front levers did angle as Ted indicated they should. Not sure what you mean about...
