Found a 1/2-20 bolt. Great idea!

jonathan

What's the process to hold the pin while I peen the other end??

jonathan

That's exactly what I just found. Easy fix. Thanks

jonathan

Just yesterday I noticed a tapping sound that goes with the drive shaft. I removed the floor boards and drove with a passenger and he said it feels like it coming from the u-joint area. Any ideas what else it could be? Thanks in advance.

jonathan

if while the car is running, I remove the cutout cover and press the contact, the generator charges. When i shut the car off and restart it, the contact does not make contact. I can run it that way, I just have to remember to push the contact.

jonathan

In he meantime I will just make contact manually I guess. Thank you

jonathan

I noticed that the battery wasn't charging and the cutout was not closing. If I manually make contact with the cutout, it charges! Why won't the generator build up to make the cutout work?

jonathan

Thank you all so much!! After seeing your great photos I believe my fan is a sears, but with homemade weights that I think are timer wheels! : )
I did manage to get the governor working but the photos will help a lot. Thanks again

jonathan

Hello fellow T owners!! I have a model t powerplant and bought a governor fan for it. Now the fan is missing everything except the flyweights. Does anyone have a picture of a complete one so i can perhaps fabricate new parts?

jonathan

Thanks everyone!

I read that the needle valve adjustment should be at about one to two turns open when running. The needle adjustment on my car only opens just over a half turn from closed! Carb was rebuild a couple years ago. Runs great pulling hills but idles a little rough. Is there a way to make it open more? Th...

jonathan

It ran great with the new timer and rebuilt coils for the last thousand miles, now idles rough but runs great under load.

jonathan

The 1919 roadster runs great, pulls hills no problem. Now for some reason, it idles rough. What to check first? It has a new Anderson timer and rebuilt coils.

It turns out the flare at the end of the pipe was broken off! Ordered a new pipe from Lang’s.

jonathan

He runs Kevlar. It looks like the brake band was dragging. He adjusted it.

jonathan

Noticed today that exhaust is coming out from under the nut ( between the pipe and nut ) that connects the manifold to the pipe. The nut is tight. What can I do?

jonathan

He was in high and felt the engine braking harder than normal, then felt the engine braking when he put the lever in neutral

jonathan

HeyNorm. No RuckstelL or auxiliary brakes. Could it be possible the bands were not getting enough oil and the bands were binding? He used a screen. He did make an adjustment on the brake band.

jonathan

The engine didn’t stall

jonathan

My son was driving his 1919 Roadster today and when going down a steep hill he would engine brake while in high gear. This time he felt the car really slow down like there was something going on. He put the car in neutral and it still felt like he was engine braking! He pulled over and couldn't find...

Hartford tube made in China

jonathan

Front drivers side. Hayes rim and riverside tire. Rim painted not powder coated.

jonathan

Besides low air pressure, what would cause a valve stem to shear? Tire pressure was 60 psi. The stem was still perfectly straight and stuck in the rim! I am using a flapper also, could that be a problem? Have about 2000 miles on tire and tube.

jonathan

Due to the stay at home order, we can't go and get it yet!

jonathan

: Dump bed

jonathan

: The guy wants 2500for it. What do you think

jonathan

A Whiteman... I have tried moving the shifter, it moves into both positions with a sharp "snap" but still the wheels do not move.

jonathan

And thank you!!

jonathan

Steve... all i mean by that is that the engine still has the 2-piece valves and most likely hasn't been rebuilt, same goes for the trans. Well they sure look like they haven't been rebuilt.

jonathan

Thank you Joe, Now the axle has this "neutral" no matter what position the shifter is in. And are parts available for a one ton ruxtull?

jonathan

Hello everyone, so i went to take a closer look at the TT today. I discovered that it is equipped with a 2 speed Ruxtull. To further search for the cause of the problem at hand, i removed the oil fill plug in the axle and told a friend of mine to turn the crank. I observed the driveshaft turning but...

jonathan

I looked at a TT today and it was in a very tight space, but I was able to turn the crank. It was easy to turn and when I put it in high or stepped on the peddle for low, the rear wheels did not turn! Could the drive shaft be disconnected? Could it be a broken crank? Next weekend I will be able to t...

jonathan

It has a new mag. It's very strong.

jonathan

For whatever reason, the car runs great on mag except when you stop and fully retard the spark! Then it stalls. When on battery, it will stay running with the spark fully retarded. This is something that just started. What do I check? Merry Christmas and thanks!
