Bill,

Us Californians call the Birds that come back to Capistrano Swallows. They are very messy and build homes out of mud in the eves of our homes.

Bill, do you know if it is the same cover on the Series 80?

If it is I could send you the one on my spare motor and you could use mine for

a pattern.

Thank you Peter and Craig,

Is my Carb the Stromberg OX-2? I will try to adjust it.

Is the Petcock supposed to be hard to turn for the Fuel Flow to the Carb?

I have to use just about all of my strength to turn the valve.

Hello,

I took my car to an event this weekend and the Carb has moisture on the bottom and it doesn’t seem to be gaining enough power. Is it normal to have some moisture and if not who is recommended to rebuild and adjust the Carb? Are there rebuild kits and about how much to rebuild?

Thank you,

Ken

Thank you for letting me know about the Bluing.

I will give it a shot.

Peter and Greg,

I also have Champions. I like the idea of having the bluing put on. Mine are painted Black.

I now have good spark to the Spark Plugs.

Greg,

I did not notice the burnt wires when I was buying the car. I noticed the burnt wires after I parked it in my garage. I was so excited about the car that I wasn’t studying the wires. I was looking at other things. We unloaded it and parked it in a storage garage for a couple for nearly a month before bringing it home. It started fine and drove a couple of times before bringing it home. We stopped and filled the tank and when driving into the driveway it stalled but we were able to restart it and park it in my garage at home. We have not been able to start it sense.

The 2nd and 4th Plug wires have the burn marks on them but the others look fine.

I agree with you that the wires look like someone laid a hot light against the wires.

Greg,

Here is the first picture of the burnt wires. the strange part is they are

burnt in the middle above the head about 4 inches or so from the Spark Plugs.

This was just listed on eBay today. Hopefully it will work for you.

Peter,

No I don’t have a 12 volt system but I have a negative ground. I was thinking the

wires may have been melted before I picked up my car. The place that it was on

consignment may have tried jumping it with a 12 volt but then I would think I would see other wires melted besides the Spark Plug Wires.

On another not my car has Champion Plugs. What kind of Plugs do you run?

Ken

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

My Spark Plug wires are melted. Does anyone have suggestions on what may have caused the melting? I am wondering why they would have gotten so hot. Where can I buy new ones?

Thank you,

Ken
