Re: Why won't T start but runs.
All my work and everybody's help has only proved one thing. I don't know what I'm doing. SO, I need to take it to someone. Does any one know if there is anybody in the Seattle area that can work on a 1926 model T?

Then it runs perfect but if I turn it off and try to starting it with the starter it just cranks but doesn't fire. It is a 6 volt system with a distributor. An...
