O.K. Bruce, you have to explain now.

Just noting that Jordan's carrier's fuel-in-the-carb reacts opposite to mine. Like left hand threads turn opposite to right hand ones and summer is winter in Australia.
OK, I'll never try a joke again. |

A good, noble, wholesome thing.
It will save everyone from hearing me tell the one about those three guys that went into a bar. |

Bruce, Most of those good old jokes are now politically incorrect.
(btw. this is just another example that nearly every thread is hijacked) I'm not good at jokes, If I could remember one, I'd be a lot better. Nowadays they all offend someone. I've just read that your neighbours will record this transmission, and store it for 100 years, so it would need to be a really good one.

My .02 worth, observations on 6 volt systems.
-6v batteries are tempermental and require a good charge. They need to be maintained carefully monitoring acid and charge level -6v batteries require proper, clean grounds. Even a battery sitting for a few months can signifigantly discharge and cause corrosion at the ground points -6v batteries can be changed out for...8v batteries-enough extra umph without having to change over your system to 12v, many tractor guys do this -6v is NFG in cold weather -battery failure is very common and also aggravating as most guys think its something else -Ford flathead distributors and coils are also very prone to issues especially due to overheating (thermal breakdown) and out of time. There is only one remedy for these issues- buy a newly made original type coil and time your dizzy on a timing fixture using the instructional book. I recall one guy whose carrier would start to misfire after several minutes running, then recover and start again after cooling down. He swore it was something else- it was a bad coil pure and simple -6v starter will go for a really long time on 12v, there are many ways to incorporate a 12v battery into the 6v system and still look original without the headaches

If only I could be cured of my 6V addition.
