    Won't start but not starter problem

    1949 WF No oil pressure

    I had one come in without oil pressure and less than 100 hrs on rebuild, rocker arms destroyed. Cam bearing installed wrong, Stuck a drill bit through the gallery hole, drilled a hole in bearing. I don't really recomend that, but it's been running nearly 10 years now. John

    Electric wheelchair

    I have post polio syndrome and it may come to a chair like that, but it's human nature to fight it, it feels like surrendering. Your friend may be like me, just not ready yet. I hope he realizes you were trying to do the best. He may think it through and change his mind. John

    Ford 1210

    Underneath the flywheel housing there is a flat plate, unbolt it and look up inside. I"ve had several with the linkage loose there. Most were just a lost a nut on the linkage. John

    8210

    Good news I think? The inside ring where the raidator caps seals against is bent down a little, someone may have had a funnel or something against it. Thanks for your help and ideas. John

    Propane Gas Line (In a Building)

The non grinder solids pump is much simpler, and less maintence, adjusting cutters etc. The cutters are quite expensive, and they do wear. When they are worn anything will snag on them and lock the pump up. We...
