Re: Blowing Starter Safety Fuse Help Please

Thank you for all the replies. I’m going to try and turn it around, plus insulate the cutout.
I’ll post when I get it sorted.

Re: Blowing Starter Safety Fuse Help Please

Ok now I understand. So I’m basically putting 6 volts to the case of the cutout.
Is that why I’m burning fuses?
Thank you

Re: Blowing Starter Safety Fuse Help Please

I’m not sure about the cutout itself. I’m assuming it’s positive ground.
I don’t know if they made them another way

Re: Firestone tires Too Big?

Excellent news. Thank you.
I’ll post a pic tomorrow when I get them installed.
I paid a pretty penny to get these wheels here and I was panicking after reading that they may not fit.

Re: Engine Misfire Knock

I removed the distributor and it has a one piece shaft.
If you move the shaft up and down, there is over an 1/8 of shaft endplay.
I believe this is the sound I'm hearing. click clacking away.
So...

Ok. I got out the old stethoscope. Probably should have done that first.

It does not grind when stopped putting in gear.

So free play is measured from where the pedal lays at rest to were it starts to feel...
