Re: Fast idle on 1930

I may have an vacuum leak. At startup there is a "whistle" for about a minute then it stops. I may spray some starting fluid where I think the leak is located and see if the rpm's increase.

Fast idle on 1930

I set the timing which was retarded causing it to heating up. Much more power and get up and go. Now the idle is too fast. The linkage is not causing the problem. The fast idle 'cam' adjustment...

Engine knock on a 1930

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I made a clamp from two 1" thick steel plates and bored a hole to fit the shaft. The 20 ton press worked. The "play" in the steering wheel is only 1/2 inch...
