Thanks for the trip Dick. It was great hearing my dad's voice again. So I stole it(downloaded). My dad was so excited to go on that trip and my nephew went on it because I wasn't able to get away from work. He has a video log of the trip he took (my nephew) . Thanks again for posting Dick.

Re: Three New Videos on the "Model T Tips" Youtube Site

After seeing some of Steve Jelf's assembly pics , his engine is going to fun like a fine Swiss watch and do 50 MPH all day long :D
I wonder what kind of oil he's going to run.

Re: Could it be the Oil ?!

!0/30 is great for running around town. If doing any long distance runs I'd use 15/40 or 20/50. I used 1/2qt ATF when I was using standard 10/30 and it did help with chattering. I've since switched over to full synthetic 20/50 Z-Rod by Amsoil or Walmart 20/50 4stroke motorcycle full syntec and no ch...

Re: Radiator cleaner recommendation

Rinsed with baking soda to neutralize.s it would also work if very careful not to spill on exterior Rinse again and fill with coolant of your choice. I haven't done this on an all brass radiator. Guess i...

Re: New Radiator- Shell not fitting right....

When I was putting on my Rad. I was using new mounting hardware and springs. Turns out the the springs I was supplied were too stiff and long. So I cleaned and reused the old springs .
Well,I had a pic for comparison but it's not working :roll:

Re: GOOD NEWS about 10w30 motor oil

I use Amsoil Z-Rod or WalMart 4 Stroke Motorcycle full syntec oil. Most motorcycles have wet clutches like the T. Some guys love synthetic blends but mix their own. ...

Re: Ignition Issues

No worries Scott. You are right with all the diff. timers out there. Not to mention all the kinds of wear along the system. I think most of these ways are all "In the ballpark" adjustments.
