Starting my flathead
I have been having trouble posting my text to the forum.
I was able to successfully start my flathead last Saturday and again today. I have to do some carburator adjustments, but it is running. However, I now have an electrical problem that I am trying to resolve. When I turn my switch on, the oil pressure gage goes to maximum when the engine is not running. I have checked the gage according to a post on the Barn using a "D" cell and the gage goes to midscale. Is my sending unit bad? My fuel gage does not register with about a 1/2 a tank of fuel, and I checked the gage the same way as the oil gage("D cell) and it went to midscale. I checked that it had power to the sending unit which is new. I checked the gage with second gage that I had, and it did not register a level. I also checked the power to the resistor (red wire from the ignition switch) and it was too hot to touch, which seemed to me to be excessive. I would think that I could touch the resistor unit without burning myself. Is there something I have made a mistake on in wiring up the fuse block, oil and fuel gages? Thanks in advance for all your help. I could not have got my truck to this stage without all of your input. K |
