I love that car, my grandpa first learned to drive in one of those, same year. We were gonna buy one and restore it, but he passed in his sleep back in 1999. We had been looking for one in decent shape, but they are hard to find. My grandpa was a medic in wwll, was on the front lines, and at the invasion of normandy. At the end of the war, he helped liberate the dachou concentration camp, and captured an ss soldier trying to flee. My grandpa didn't kill anyone, but did bring home the guy's luger, swastika armband, and his ss bars. The description he gave me was horrifying. One time before he died, he said i saved his life, because he was having a hard time comining back from a heart attack, and bypass surgery. I helped him a lot, because he would never hire anyone to fix anything, and we became best friend's. He told me thing's he hadn't talked about to anyone about the war, and i believe it's part of why he had the heart attack. I couldn't imagine holding all that he saw and went through for without talking about it for almost sixty year's. He made me promise not to let anyone put anything on his memorial after he died, which i kept. My mom wanted to have a bronze plaque put on the back of the memorial after my grandma died, but i said no, so it's not marked. Sorry to go on about all this, it's just the story behind that particular car hit home for me. G-d bless.

One tip I was told when working on old engines. If you run a lead pencil along the rotor arm and the distributer points, the graphite improves the spark, and also only short bursts on the starter. continuous running does not help much. You have a lovely project there and if it were mine, I would have had the head off before trying to start as the valves might benefit from reseating them before starting. Another thing you might find useful when you start to clean the bright work up, strangely, Tomatoe Ketchup and a little washing up liquid polishes a lot faster than propriety abrasive cleaners.

@scottbaker9066

the power switch to the starter is on the floor, there was a lever to engage the starter gear to the flywheel before the starer solenoid became common, folks just used the crank handle or a rolling bump start. Starter warm up was way to easy! Originally the frame -body was positive but also lots off wood and rust so the returns are always a problem. Most have been converted to 12v with the frame negative and the key just 'grounds' the spark, one steering wheel thing is spark advance, choke is a pull knob on the dash

A starter that is field wound will spin the same direction no matter how you hook up the battery. This is because on a field wound motor, switching the battery leads changed the polarity of the field and armature at the same time. Field wound motors will actually run on AC current. An example I have messed with was American flyer toy trains.

@@peterofenback9263 The older the car the less there is to be affected by reversed polarity. Even a car with a coil will still work but with the coil backwards the spark isn't as good as it should be. Did the car run better once you reversed it? A car with a magneto for ignition there is even less to worry about polarity wise. The other thing someone else mentioned in the comments is you might need to change the polarity of a dynamo which you can usually do by re-flashing (re-polarising) them momentarily. They dynamo needs a small residual magnetic field in it so when it starts rotating the voltage it produces is the right polarity. That fades over time if the car hasn't been used and you can also reverse it by re-flashing so it can be used positive or negative ground.

You might check some of the Model A forums out there. VGG picked one up, and there were a lot of comments in that video about where to find parts and information.

The trials and tribulations of a near 100 year old car ... We have a 1928 Durant Truck, and its essentially the same as far as the points, up draft carb, etc.. and she can be tempermental at times. Ours also has a vacuum chamber on the firewall to suck fuel from the tank, which then gravity feeds down to the carburetor. Looking forward to next week!!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

I'm 27 and me and my uncle were working on his 48 jeepster before he passed worked on it for years and learned a lot seeing you work on this makes me miss him and I enjoyed every minute. side note a lot of parts for stuff like this can still be had from tractors. we bought new vales for the jeep sine the motor was used in tractors from auto zone.

6 volt systems were never the best after they aged a bit, so you really needed to keep them up, especially in winter. One thing to check would be the + connection to the frame. It really should go to the engine block to secure a good ground. Next, the starter cable from the battery looks really small. I remember most 6 volt systems used 4 or even 2 gage wire, kept as short as practical. Finally, no problem with the starter polarity vs rotation. Polarity to the starter only matters if the starter motor is a PM (permanent magnet) type. Finally, the condenser is important, and I've never come across one mounted remotely to the distributor.

Tip. That stake you drove in the ground needs a secondary securing point. Drive a stake in behind it at and angle and then tie a line from the the top of the first stake to the base of the second stake. It also helps if you push a spade into the ground in front of the first stake to spread the load. I have used that method using a Tirfor winch to move crashed and immobile vehicles. You would be surprised how good an anchor point it make.

if you want a good stake, go visit a tent company. They have 'em up well over an inch thick... and 2-3 ft long.

Every thing he is doing he is guessing at. He actually knows nothing about the car or how it works. He checked the emergency brake after they got it on the trailer and removed the hub nut before he put a jack under it. I really like the car I can't watch it I can't watch what he's doing. For crying out loud read a book or Google it. Better yet get on KZbin.

@@patrick5180 Watching him thumbing through and following a workshop manual would make for a pretty boring and abbreviated show, would it not? Personally, I'd rather watch him get after it using his skills of deduction and piles of scrap parts.
