Hello All,
Here is an update on my Ford 601 Not Starting. Everything is Shinny New ...hooked up and tight. Hit the button and she now turns over. (6 Volt System)
I replaced All the cables except one. The one I did keep was a nice thick old copper cable...on that one I just replaced the battery connector.
I'll say the worse cable I had was the one from the new solenoid to the starter. Got a new one at Napa.
I also sanded and wire brushed all connecting points. She now turns over.
Next I need to replace my gas bowl gasket. Should I just buy a new gasket or make my own out of gasket material?
I don't know how tough it is to get a good seal with a homemade one. The original one is in pieces.
Any advice on how make a good gasket?
Thank for the help,
Ralph
