Re: 36 Flathead Troubleshooting

Only running on four cylinders. Guess I better start looking at the timing and distributor. Open to troubleshooting ideas.

Re: 36 Flathead Troubleshooting

I’ll check the carb. It’s really weird since she was running fine, just a slipping clutch plate. Pulled the engine, replaced the entire clutch assembly, reinstalled and now she’s running like this....

Re: solenoid with start button

Trying to wire a remote switch on my 36 with a floor starter button. Sounds like I need to alligator clip the negative wire to the battery side of solenoid and attach the other clip to the positive...

Re: Fuel Pump Problems

Installed longer fuel rod and pump working as it should. I now have a problem with the idle set to high and adjusting the set screws on the carb do nothing to slow it?

Push rod is 7.90 and it’s too short, will order 8.90 and see if that fixes it.

Thank you V8 - I suspect this is the problem as the fuel push rod came out of a different engine. I’ll check it out today.

Re: Fuel Pump Problems

Check - I’m thinking the push rod may not be operating the pump correct. Just not sure how to verify that’s the problem.

Re: Fuel Pump Problems

It’s a oil pressure switch that only gives power to the pump when there’s oil pressure. See pic, trying to figure out wiring for it though.

Re: 1936 Series 68 Sedan Convertible

I’ve since acquired a rebuilt 37 flathead engine that I’ll throw into this deal. So this price will get you the car and 2 engines.
