Free Indiana Lunch or Dinner July-September 2024 ( also advice needed)

Post by Dave_Kriegel » Tue Jul 16, 2024 12:25 pm

I am located in Mishawaka Indiana an hour east of Chicago and 1.5 hours west of Toledo 10 miles South of Interstate 80
Basically I thought I knew how to trouble shoot Model T's ( I have had over 15) Due to family and personal health problems I have had two sitting needing diagnosed for repairs ( for 3 years) so i can get them running If anyone has time to stop by and say hello! Appreciated as you travel by

the 1927 I bought 7 years ago ran when the owner put it on my trailers 1927 with vaporizer Probably easy start once some small item adjusted The big one is a 1926 I had it running Did a valve job got good compression put on new Carb

1. Drag very difficult to push I jacked up rear wheels They do not rotate in neutral with engine running
2. Block has no hole for the carb rod to go through from steering column
3. Steering column has no attachments for timing and carb ( I bought 2 from Texas T)
4. Just confused now starter will not turn over car like the engine transmission has excessive drag

Anyway like to meet folks Plenty of nice local places to eat

Also we have a great veterans Post
