Re: Hard starting when hot
Skip Haney: I went to www.fordcollector.com and followed the instructions to send the coil to him with a check for $83.00 ($75 rebuild and $8 shipping).
Starter: The strange thing is that when my engine was hot and would not start, the starter was turning much faster than when starting cold. It was what I would expect with 12 volts on a 6 volt starter. Still a bit of a mystery in that regard, but for now, my particular problem appears to have been solved by bypassing the second resistor. |

Re: Hard starting when hot
Is Skip still doing coils, I left phone message and haven't heard back. I want to talk to him before sending my coil to see what he needs from me, and see if he has condensers. Al

cost has been increased. You should also send him a couple condensers to hot test so you know they don't break down when hot. He also cleans, disassembles and sets distributors for $50.00 providing they were working and don't need major parts. When the coil, condenser and distributor are all done and checked as a unit you can be assured all preform to the original Ford specs. He uses an original Ford~Heyer distributor machine. G.M.

Re: Hard starting when hot
Think I'll send my dist. to Bubba's because I know nothing about the condition of it. Only had car a couple of months. Al

Re: Hard starting when hot
Capt Kirk, replaced the modern bendix with original. C&G has a video on You Tube if you google "Flathead starter drive replacement" which helped. Correct on starting hard hot. Would have to let it sit for 30-45 minutes at times before it would fire again. Wife said "I think your starter is bad". I hate when she is right. C&G recommends in their catalog that you replace the modern drive with the original. Years ago I was told there is nothing wrong with a 6 volt system IF everything is up to snuff !

Re: Hard starting when hot
This is the coil you want. It sounds like a coil problem to me. G.M.

Re: Hard starting when hot
Folks when your entire ignition system is 100% healthy with a skip coil and distributor has been set up on a timing fixture your hard starting problems should be solved, no mater the ambient temperature. 99% of my flathead starting troubles have been poor ignition components. Vary rarely do I have a fuel supply problem unless I let the tank run out.

Re: Hard starting when hot
I got my rebuilt coil back from Skip Haney and installed it with a F-5 condensor, modified to mount on and wire to the dome style coil, per posts in the archives, and re-connected the resistor under the dash. Even after an extended run at full temperature, the engine starts every time with a very short starter turn. Even though I had already improved the situation with the tube coil by eliminating the dual resistors, it is clear that I have a much stronger spark with the rebuilt coil. Thanks Skip, and thanks Barners.

Re: Hard starting when hot
I had the same problem with my 38 coupe, running a 59a engine and a round 50s type coil, tried everything nothing helped, finally called Dick Flynn, he said to bypass the under dash resister, that that coil needed 6 volts, did that, hasn't failed to start in years, no point problems

Re: Hard starting when hot
Hi Everyone. When I read the title, 'Hard starting when hot.' I think... yeah I've got that. Especially my 35 which I am very suspicious of the coil, which will be sent to Florida very soon, but...
A lot of times when I stop, and know I'm going to get started again in the time of over five minutes but less than about an hour, I put one hood side up. This is a simple thing to do if you think hot starting is what you're trying to troubleshoot.
