I checked the plugs and they appear good with little wear. Cleaned the carb but not sure it is ok. Used either and pour gas into the brass bowl, still nothing. It has never ran while I had it but appears to have been gone through before I got it???Any thoughts??? Last edited by dwpirkeyjr; 07/12/19 07:57 PM. Johnny Reb

Although the thread was for a 1950 Chevy, the basics apply to all 6v systems. I've used this info and it helped a lot! https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php.../true/re-1950-wont-start.html#Post285347 Cheers, Dean Dean 'Rustoholic' Meltz old and ugly is beautiful!
