Update on no-start diagnosis
Posted: Sun Jun 11, 2023 7:35 am
Good morning,
A little while ago I posted about my car suddenly not starting on a tour. One positive side effect of this is that I'd gotten pretty good at crank-starting it, something I was reluctant to try in the past. The starter was non-responsive when I pushed the floor switch. With the help of fellow club members I obtained a new switch, installed it, and got it to work last night. Car starts normally, and my back feels better for it.
For any newbies who may be reading this, it's a very good idea to join a club for support and fellowship. I'm grateful for the help I've had with my car and I know the process of repairing it would be prolonged and painful without experienced Model T owners putting their eyes on the problem. And thanks to those on the forum who offered advice.
Happy motoring from Maryland!
