    Water got in my exhaust pipe and locked #3. Even had a bag and can on the exhaust and it was running 2 weeks prior but it locked. pulled the head and valves got it free pretty quick and spinning good again with no cylinder damage. Put it back together wired the plugs just like yours because I had to verify I was doing it right after 3 repetitive attempts just to keep my sanity and I'm still getting nothing. I didn't mess with timing or anything just pulled the head and valves. Would pulling the head and valves then putting it all back the way it originally was change anything? I would think #1 tdc would just pick up where it left off and she would run again. What am I missing?

    • @melsplace4007
      @melsplace4007 3 місяці тому

      As far as I know pulling head and then putting it back would not upset the timing, unless someone helped you while you weren't looking and spun it around one time.

  • @tyfrank3427
    @tyfrank3427 8 місяців тому

    You'll get it running no problem. By the look of the regulator it has the Delco 1100501 generator. The regulators like that are usually 6V positive ground only. To ensure it's right, check the wiring on the coil. The + should be hooked to the distributor and the - should be hooked to the switch. Then put the battery in with the negative to the starter and the positive to ground. Then, polarize the generator. To polarize the generator, take a short piece of wire with the battery hooked up, and momentarily touch one end to the BAT terminal on the regulator and the GEN terminal on the regulator. It will spark and then it's polarized and hooked up correctly. Also, assuming that they fully converted it to negative ground, you will have to move the ammeter wires from side to side. My guess, is they just put the battery in backwards, and never even bothered to switch wires or polarize the generator.

  • @tyfrank3427
    @tyfrank3427 8 місяців тому

    I would put it back to positive ground right away if it has the original generator (Delco 1101355 or Delco 1100501) Those 6V regulators are for positive ground only as a rule.

    • @melsplace4007
      @melsplace4007 8 місяців тому

    Probably no worse than Chinese tires. Name brands are also Chinese. Last set of Goodyear tires on my truck were made in China. I'm not sure how the spindles are done on a Cub. if they are splined, you can sometimes repair them with a piece of shimstock. I think they may be keyed on a Cub, and the keyseat is worn.

    • @melsplace4007
