Hi, I am currently restoring a Dodge D14 1940.
I ve done a lot to figure out the electrical and finally got spark at the plugs and and fuel pump working.
The carburetor seems to be working, the fuel pump is working, I’ve got spark at every spark. The engine cranks but won’t fire over.
the closest I’ve got, was a lawn mower type shrug from it, where it tried to kick over but didn’t start.
One thing that I have noticed is that the starter seems to be struggling turning the engine. When I rotate the fan by hand it moves fine until a certain point in its rotation where it seems to be very hard to rotate it. Once it gets past that point it’s smooth again.
what would you suggest?
