Re: puzzled
I have had cooling systems leak a small amount water when cooling down and then quit.
Usually tightening the hose connections cures it.

Re: Ethanol 101
Modern cars don’t suffer from this problem because the fuel tank is sealed.
Model A’s, lawn mowers and airplanes tanks etc, are vented all the time. Cold night fuel contracts and pulls in air....

Re: Transmission overhaul.
No, they looked good using Tom Endy’s criteria, I did reverse them though when I reassembled the tower.
I got your PM. Thanks.

If you have a Mitchel overdrive, shift it into neutral and immediately down shift the transmission without double clutching and then shift the Mitchell back into low or high.

Re: Bendix Spring bolts
Maybe my problem removing the starter with the modern Bendix is the F100 steering column???
I turned every which way and couldn’t get it around the the water inlet and steering column.

Re: Bendix Spring bolts
I am 85, can still do most everything I want do but hand cranking a Model A with a high compression head is one I can’t do.
I still hand prop my Cub but the lever arm is much longer on that.
