I thought my leads on the brushes were soldered in, but its jb weld. Guess i can grind it off. Any ideas?
-
Ace had bushings for my choke shaft in the carb
-
I was going that route but he is out of stosk
-
Took the starter to oreily. If these guys can't find your car in their computer they can't help you. Their tester won't do 6 volts. Only 12. I noticed the brush end of it gets quite warm where the bushing is
-
Sounds like a good idea mr. Adams
-
Since i don't really know what a good one looks like i would say it's ok. Could the bushings be out of round? Thereis some vibration
-
Ken, the battery shows 5.86 volts when running
-
I had it apart. Brushes arent worn bad. Not a lot of slop in the bushings. Someone has soldered the wires for the brushes in. The speed varies. And when i turn off the juice the motor stops instantly.

I have my starter out on the bench. Put the juice to it and it spins fine at first. After running 10 sec it begins to slow down, way down. Battery shows 6 volts. Any ideas?
-
AB sells a rebuild kit for 47.00. Anyone here ever tried it? I have the starter out. Hooking juice to it shows it is very sluggisk.
-
So if i do detect a voltage drop what would that indicate?
-
I've never had the starter rebuilt.
-
Right now i can't get it to crank fast enough to start it. After a cpl times of spraying ether and cranking the starter starts dragging. Battery is showing over 6 volts.
-
Different prob now. Who has the best starter rebuild kit. Took starter off bench tested running slow. She's a dragging.
-
The gauge has been truthful so far. I checked the fuel line from the tank to the pump seems to be ok.
-
So i put the pump in the vice. Did a pressure check. Shows the pump works. I put a hose on suction side ing stuck it in the gas can. Put a hose on the other side and rsn it to a container. I worked the arm and it performed right. I got half a beer bottle full of gas with 3 pumps of the arm. Put the pump back on and tried to start. Got some gas in the filter this time. Now starter is dragging after trying a few times to start. The car is on a slight incline with the front higher. I have quarter tank gas. Maybe i'll try turning it around pointing down hill.

How important is gasket sealer where the top and bottom sandwich the lip of the diaphram?
-
Check valves are just a spring, a seal and the stem. Springs aren't broken.
-
What causes fuel pumps to fail? The're simple devises. There's no tear in the diaphram. Springs are good. It appears to be in working order. The bowl has gas in it but it's not getting to the carb.
-
It was a kit. Comes with brass bushings and a reamer. Found it on ebay. Shaft fits good now. Company called henkyo.
-
The pin is still in place. I can spray ether in the carb and it will run until the spray goes away. I had just put new bushings in the carb throttle shaft and she hasen't been right since.
-
48 plymouth not starting. Took fuel line loose from carb. Turned engine over, no fuel coming out. Pump has gas in the bowl. I've rebuilt this pump once. Removed pump and compared it to an old one i had lying around. The round brass mesh peice is gone. Did it disenegrate? What's its purpose any way. I plan to rebuild it again.
-
I ordered the kit so I'll see how it works

Calipers read around .307 but there is some wear.
