Thanks again.  I'm having the distributor professionally rebuilt and rewired.  That should cover all of the problems that were suggested as possibilities.  I'll let you know when I get it back on the car.

I am going to begin checking out all of your suggestions soon.  I also wonder if the problem could be a bad condenser? Car started right up yesterday (after sitting for 2 days), ran badly then quit again and wouldn't restart.

I will try all of your suggestions..Thank you.  It was interesting that after we got the car home and it sat for a couple of days, it started right up, ran pretty bad, then quit and won't start again.

I'm having a strange problem with my 53 Carolina.  While driving it along it suddenly stalled.  Somehow we lost spark.  Thought it was the coil, so replaced it..nothing.  we had recently installed new plug wires, cap, rotor, condenser, points so don't think there is a problem there.  With further digging we discovered that there doesn't seem to be any power to the coil.  Starter engages and turn signals work, so don't think it's the ignition switch.  Weird problem for sure, any ideas?

You might also try putting a very small drop of sewing machine oil on the speedometer shaft where the cable hooks into it (the part the cable rotates).  Be very careful to use a small amount and do not get it inside the speedometer itself, only on the connection point.  Hope this helps.

What a neat item to perhaps reproduce (in a smaller size) for the club to sell, and/or use for trophies.  It certainly is very eye catching!

General Discussion / Electric Fuel pump

« on: July 28, 2012, 10:40:11 AM »

I recently saw a question on the Frazer forum where the person asked why electric fuel pumps were not on all the time but, operated with a toggle switch.

 I also wondered about this and had another question.  Does the extra pressure from the electric pump ever damage the diaphragm on the mechanical pump?  I was concerned about the possibility of pumping gas into the crankcase if the diaphragm was damaged.

 Any thoughts or advice on these questions?

I wholeheartedly agree.  It would be great to have a mfg fund tab added.   I hope this is a real possibility.
