Re: Hard to turn engine over A ford 1929
I have taken the starter switch apart and cleaned everything for good conection, it looks good.Both battery cables brand News fastened directly to the starter.losend waterpump scrue in case it was making tge camscaft hold back, New battery, losend the scrues which holds the starter switch in case they was to loong, losened the main bearings and tighten when I saw it made no difference, New 10-40 mineral oil.cleaned the valves With w40. handcranked With ignition of, With sparkplugs out it was fairly easy, but With sparkplugs in Heavy to turn. My battey cables are medium size, My starter is now tested With in another Ford model A and it worked just fine, but in my car it hardly turns.I am running out of ideas, will try to pull it to start and drive it for a while to see if something losen up ? I was told that I could try a 12 volt battery if I dont crank to loong, but would that damage my 6 volt Electronic ignition and coil that I just put in ? Thanks for all good advice so fare !
