Sorry - That's Non -Ethanol that you want - we find at a number of gas stations and boat marinas. Then add the Sea Foam.

For needle and float valves what I found works is non -ethyl gas with Sea Foam auto/marine/fleet treatment - in our area available at Ace Hardware and most auto parts stores - white bottle with a red emblem. My test cases are my 3 MGs (47.48.51) with SU carbs - which are notorious for needles and fl...

Model T in Newland Parade.jpg To add to the 26-27 discussions attached is a photo of a T Runabout taken in 1972 at the parade in Newland NC - that was the last year it was registered - it then sat on blocks in Mr Buchanan's (second owner) garage for 41 years before I bought it in September 2013 - l...

Snyder's Catalog, Part # T-5008

Thanks for all inputs. Turns out original transformer not blown - so working fine. Have contacted a number of firms with the specs. Awaiting reply. The champion decal is below for those interested. Contact me w your email and I will send you the master - you can then change colors at will on your co...

And thanks Steve - liked your answering machine message!!

Good ideas - I still do have my Lionel train stuff from the 40s. Will see what else pops up on the Forum. Anybody that has one, a shot of the internals would also be helpful so I can cross check my wiring.

Thanks for the inquiry. It is a step down transformer that activates the Model T coil to fire the spark plug.

Searching for wiring diagram and source for replacement transformer ( 110V, 60 cycle, 15V, 25 watts).
Have template for the 'Change Every 10,000 Miles' - an easy fix.

Before adjusting low band make sure you disconnect the slow speed connection clevis (pull the pin) ( Lang PN 3445-7S). You then adjust for full pedal and floor board clearance. A locked low gear pedal is also an indication that the slow speed connection is about to go over center and then you've got...

Good to hear of your success- send that man a case of beer!

From yesterday - at friends house to adjust his bands . Complains about overheating previous weekend. We finish - says let's ride down the street. Starts right up, switches to mag, brings spark lever down and seems satisfied - I just reach over and take it halfway down - what a difference. He was dr...

Ron, I'm Bron from Hertford NC I assume you have a notarized/signed transfer title. When I transferred titles from VA to NC on my MGs when we moved here in 2004 - I called the local DMV office and they sent out an old head inspector to check the numbers- all went fine . In 2013 bought a 26 T in Newl...

re Roffe comment earlier today : pull the plugs, watch the valves on No 1 to make sure you are on compression stroke for TDC and then just slightly more so piston just coming down.

My 26 with 24 front end West Hurley NY Fire Dept Support Vehicle with the 25 Martin -Parry TYPE C with Roller Doors is the last one shown in the 24-27 Registry Section of the MP website. Fortunately 99% of all the metal was in good shape to include the patented double action door locks, rollers, rai...

Probably have a hole in the vaporizer plate . T I bought in 2013 had sat for 41 years - fortunately tank had been drained. Replaced plate ( buy a spare)
and started on the 3rd turn. Been running like a champ since then.
Good Luck!

Nice to have the pictures - this has been a fun dialogue - add in your binder the parts orders and invoices - that way in early December you can add up what you've spent and can tell your spouse that they don't have to worry about giving you a Christmas present.

Right on - so both my and OilyBills are Marquettes , but Marquette was smart enough to design so you didn't have to lift the body, re the angle bracket notch. Small little thing but made for easy owner or service center installation. And only less than $9. No small change back then, but did the ladi...

To add to the discussion here is a pic of my front bumper and links below to Forum 2010:Bumper and a 27 coupe sold at Barrett Jackson event in 2014 . On the Forum 2010 note the Marquette ad in the Ford Service and Field paper. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/118802/157037.html?1283355195 https:...

So two with the same brackets . They do not require any lift of the body - look very closely RearBumper 4 IMG_2350.JPG at the front of the L angle bracket where it comes in contact with the frame crossover - the bracket is notched at that point so it sits on the underside of the frame crossover - th...

Different rear bumpers with different brackets. The photos are from a 26 that was in storage for 41 years and never dissasembled

Another great rust remover is citric acid - your grandmother used it for canning vegetables - plastic tub - warm water , add the crystals and let it work - washes off, biodegradable. Available from Duda Energy, LLC, in Decatur AL. Does not remove base metal - I've done fenders, hood, etc. with it

Suspect may be the same as the Runabout/Roadster, Can send you pics.as mine have never been off the car
Call me on cell 7033467510

excellent historical presentation on the FMC and the K - great research info
Thank You!!!

Hope you are not using ethanol gas - if so drain and switch to ethanol free - available at a Marina as last resort.

Larry - it is not only the tool compliment but the workshop - what do you have - large vises to hold axle shafts, areas to hold the axle drive shaft assemblies vertically and horizontally, gear pullers for bearing assemblies , grinders or sanding machines to machine the bronze thrust bearings, dial ...

Same symptoms on a 26 Runabout that I bought in 2013 that had sat for 41 years and have used since then on many tours - that little whine on right hand turns - straight ahead noiseless. Opened it up a month ago - no right side bronze thrust washer - its remains looked like oatmeal. Everything else f...

Thanks Mike - excellent and your half hour follow-on most useful. Looking forward to the developing webinar program - thanks Board.

Thanks for offering - I'm in

Try McMaster Carr - they have quite an array including torsion springs. Lang and Mac's have latch repair kits for tudor and coupe - so would check similarity to yours - and you can always do some bending/cutting modifications
Good Luck

Tim - Saturday morning. Turns out the bottom web strap is a kluge - just tacked on and would have to be turned 190 degrees to clear the slats below. Pulled out the other side window and door windows - there is only one attachment point and that is on the top sash with a 10/32 carriage bolt on both d...

Thanks for response. The doors have metal panels both sides for glass protection and the seat side wood frame has two outer metalpanels - one that covers the two upper side strips and the larger the lower portion of the side panel for protection. the No 79 Drop Side at Seat Side Code Word Ivory says...

This cab has sliding/roller doors and sliding door and seat-side windows. Reference the 24-25 MP Dealers Catalogue for Standardized Commercial Bodies "No. 79 Drop Sash at Seat Side. Original windows have a 1 inch webbing loop attached to the window - see attached pictures. Do not find any other atta...

If you have roller doors and slide up windows on your cab, looking to contact . In final assembly of my MP cab - have all the original metal strips, door latches, assemblies, etc but need on final lineup with cab front. On side windows need info on lift and hold - I have webbing. Have posted previou...

Here are photos

: Cab side window

Will do - See attached photos - first is the cab side window - note web strap - how is attached to hold window in place - 2nd photo is current cab assembly - looking for details on the fit of the roller door to the front cab panel - have all the pertinent metal parts so no issue there.

Craig Sutton posted in the Forum in 2006 on his MP York bodied truck . I have the same cab as shown in his photo and need to contact him as I am in he final stages of cab assembly. Any help/info on getting contact with him appreciated - I last posted in the 2018 Forum. Bron Prokuski bronprokuski@med...
