Thanks!

Hey friends! I have a '29 Tudor with only one key, a Briggs and Stratton a1100 key. Does anyone know where I could find some blanks. Thanks! Chris

Thanks for everyone's help. I DID chat with Steve from Bert's, and from his advice I tested some things and confirmed the problem is the cutout. It's likely is the reason my old generator failed as well. Appreciate your advice! Chris

Good stuff! Here are two more images. Nothing looks burned to me, but there WAS smoke and oil...or something greasy that was dripping anyway. Thoughts...

Newbie on generator repair. Can I take the band off while it's in the car? (It looks like I can.) And from there, what will allow me to see the inside? Will the back pop off?

Great info here. Not exactly sure how to check this. You mentioned it's hard to tell by sight, but I thought I would provide a picture anyway. Any thoughts...

Thanks for the input here, fellas. The idea of this relating to the ground/cutout makes some sense to me. I had to wire the connection from the generator to the cutout a little differently from my original generator because of the way the new generator came – with a post. (The original juts had...

The ampmeter looked straight up to me. The casing was very hot.

Hey folks! My old generator seized, so I bought a new refurbished one (from Bert's), installed it (along with a belt) and just took it out for a spin. When I came back I had oil leaking from the generator and it was hot and smoking. Any ideas what I did wrong here and next steps? I'm a newbie t...

So here’s a twist. Started it up, increased and decreased the idle, played with the spark advance, and no knock at all. Same as the last 2 times I took her out. Fine in the garage, but as I soon as I drive it I get the knock, and when I put it back in the garage at idle the knock remains? Any...

Thanks, guys! I'll give it a try!

Hey folks! Still a relative newbie here. I winterized my 29, and after lubing the chasis and getting her ready for what might be spring in Minnesota, I was confronted by a pretty noticeable knock. You can hear it in the video link below. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks! Chris...

Thanks. That’s what I was doing, of course. Just super tight.

Hey guys! I am tryin to remove my fuel shut off valve on a 29 Tudor. It is very hard to turn the valve when tryin to remove it, and it has me second guessing the direction for removal. Any ideas/trick of the trade would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the input, all! I'll take it all in and plan my next step. I'll let you know how it goes!

Hey folks...still a newbie here. I replaced manifold gaskets yesterday. It went well, but when I came home from testing and turned the fuel off (as I usually do because the fuel in the bowl make my garage stink), tho motor dieseled on more than normal. Later in the evening my daughter notice the...

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Are you aware any torque specs on the exhaust manifold bolts? Chris

Thanks, guys! Here's the interesting thing. The whistle happens for a while, but then when I get to high speeds they cease. And it definitely happens when I accelerate. Hmmm...

Hey folks...newbie here. My '29 Model A makes a high pitch whistling noise when I am accelerating in 3rd gear. It doesn't ALWAYS happen, and it doesn't have anything to do with speed. It comes in and out as I put pressure on the accelerator, then will fade when I coast. Anyone have this weird...
