    ‘55 Ford 800 Starter Problem

    Haven’t got that far yet but did shake them a little so doubt any loose connections. Not looking forward to cleaning them all. The popping sound makes me think it’s something else.

    Throttle Spring

    I see the difference now. I found the throttle spring I pictured where you told me. The spring hook section is broken and its laying loose under the battery tray. I cant find where it supposed to connect. It may have been like that a long time. Looks like it serves no purpose but it must. The...
