Problem is solved with new hose from fuel pump to sending line. Thanks
It was #4. It looked old but I didn't think about it since I was running fine before. Wrestling it off the old pump must have busted it enough to...
I recently replaced my fuel pump and had trouble starting. Finally filled up the float bowl through the vent tube and got it running for 30...
I bent the points back to touching and it's charging again. I think it was the corrosion on the points that was the problem. But is it not going...
My battery hasn't been charging lately, and I thought the voltage regulator might be the culprit since I just replaced the generator brushes last...
I had already bought and installed a NOS switch. It didn't work at first. I took out the starter and took it to the local motor shop. The guy...

I had some problems starting my 47 dodge about a year ago. Got the starter checked out and they said some wires were crossed and they fixed it and...
Thanks for all the help. Apparently I didn't sufficiently tighten the ignition coil lead wire when I installed the new one. It was loose, which is...
I'm not getting any voltage between ground and any of the terminals on the ignition coil. The key is turned on. Not sure what could be going wrong...
Do I measuare that by sticking a multimeter probe in the coil and then the other probe to ground? I tried that and didn't get anything. I have the...
1947 Dodge WD15, 6 volt positive ground. I've been having trouble with my throttle linkage and thought I might have a decent fix using...
Choke works fine. I don’t know how to bend this linkage back to keep it from slipping. If the shaft is worn what do I do?
After a few pulls of the throttle this is what it looks like
Here’s a picture. It slides off right at the throttle valve
For some reason my throttle linkage keeps falling off. The screw that keeps the linkage on the throttle plate is fully tightened, yet through use...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Got it. I wasn’t really thinking. Carter yf. Any good kits out there? I’m at 2200 ft elevation in North Carolina. should I...
My float bowl gasket is leaking so I need a kit to fix it. Not sure how to identify this carb. On the side there is a list of 10-12 seven digit...
Spring added. Hope it will last...thanks guys!
My main fuse holder currently has a fuse in there that's too short. I put in some aluminum foil as a spacer but I don't think that's a good idea....
Thanks...is it 1" diameter? I can't get a good read of this hole with my tape measurer.
Lost my fill plug for a 1947 Dodge WD15. Where do I find a replacement? I just picked up the closest fit and it was too small (7/8"). Is it 1"? Thanks
Yes, thanks Ray. That seemed to help although I am still confused why sometimes the ammeter is up a bunch at idle and other times it's not. Is...
So I went back to the truck to test it again and the ammeter is back at zero during idle. How could that happen after one run? All I did was turn...
So it turns out that the new regulator I had was shot. I installed an old one I had lying around and the voltage jumped and the ammeter started...
Update, jumped the battery to the generator with the belt off and it spun. So does that mean that the regular is the problem?
I'm trying to fix this myself. Bushing might be a problem the generator seems to make more noise since I've replaced the brush and maybe that's...
Yes, it's a 1947 Dodge with a flathead six. Restored about 15 years ago.
Points look fine. This regulator is relatively new. Which should the position of the points be when the truck is running? I just ran the...
I have a 1947 truck that I drove from CA to NC. No problems. Once I arrived, the master cylinder went out and I started having charging issues....
