Stuck valve? or trash? and who overhauled the tank? I have managed
to keep a Vacuum tank running with minor interruptions for a while
now but just keep putting bandaids on it. I have a spare and I think
it would be a good idea to get it "rejuvenated", so I would like your
recommendation if you have one.
I saved your engine picture. I have "this '24" that I hope to get
looking that spiffy someday. >>
It turned out there was NOTHING wrong with the vacuum tank other than my
trying to fill it in the wrong spot. Once fuel was introduced through the
inlet fuel line fitting, the darn thing swallowed an amazing amount of gas
and supplied it to the carbie with no drama at all. Jack Smith in Manitoba
Canada did the tank as part of the engine package deal. That snappy EA Mile
Away horn was restored five years ago and has been sitting in a box waiting f
or the rest of the car ever since.
Another pic of the motor running is attached, this time taken from the
off side. The red jump lead used to supply juice to the ignition system while
the dashboard electric switch is out for new handles can be seen to the rear
of the motor.
