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
Randy,
I have recently seen them on Ebay.

Hello Greg,
I want to make sure our vote is counted. Twila and I vote YES and as soon as you
have the Hotel Lined up we would like to stake our reservation. We are looking forward to this event. It will be our first one.

Hello Greg,
For my wife and I coming from the San Luis Obispo area about a 6 hour drive it would be wonderful event to attend on the 4th of July week. We look forward to
meeting you and the rest of the PAS members.
Thank you for your efforts.
Sincerely,
Ken
Richard,
That is a Beautiful Pierce Arrow.
I hopefully will have time to make it up there next year.
Ken
Paul,
Thank you for the heads up.
Ken
Peter,
Thank you for letting me know about the Bluing.
I will give it a shot.
Ken
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.
Ken
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.

Here is a picture of the Distributor. It looks new for 1925.
Here is the second Picture.
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.
Ken
Richard,
This was just listed on eBay today. Hopefully it will work for you.
Ken
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
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
Peter,
I would sure like to see more pictures of you car. Great looking car.
Ken
Thank you George for the pictures.
Is it the Blue Roadster on their website?
