Starting at the beginning
 

So figured this may as well be assessed, it turned with crank so I bought it last year. After wrangling cables got the floppy switch to run the starter motor, but freewheel. Pulled the drive apart, gear did not turn and slide up the screw. Also the bolts were not tight in the spring. Fortunately kind of knew where the starter parts pile was, found a bendix that was free as well as the correct inner bolt to anchor spring. Bench run properly, got screws to fasten switch down, oil in plug holes, cranked over good and sounded like valves were sealing. Sure is refreshing to work on old stuff for a change. Next spark, then rig up gas, this may be a runner.

What was it set up to power? I see it is governed.

After a bit of playing around and sorting out things, Rodrelic got this Model A running again. Good work.

I like the cruise control mechanism. I've seen cars with missing engine but in this case the engine is missing the car.

Yeah, have a frame, fender, cowl, couple doors, need transmission, have axles & small stuff. If I had more car and no engine would have to fish for one of them….to say nothing of the wad of T stuff …then there are the v8’s…..a vicious cycle.
