VAC 1952 - Turn but won''t start

Frederickbonner · Sep 2, 2020

Hello! I ve just bought a case vac 1952. Was starting well until yesterday. Now, when I use the starter, the motor turn but does not start. So I ve tried with the hand crank. Got it the first time. Any ideas of the issue?

Assuming a distributor ignition,if it starts with the crank but not the starter it indicates the starter system is dragging the voltage too low to fire the ignition

I would check for weak battery, corroded battery cables/post clamps, corroded ground connection at the frame, or a dragging starter.

This problem should not affect a magneto system

Checked for spark?

Is it still 6 volts or 12 volts??
Starter maybe going bad and drawing to many amps
Or the battery cable or cables could be getting bad and you cannot see that.
You need to check the spark when your cranking it and make sure it is a good blue white spark that will jump a 1/4 inch gap or more
