1928 FRANKLIN FIRST START 71 YEARS OFF THE ROAD WILL IT RUN?"},"lengthSeconds":"2233","ownerProfileU

Hello friends, Jonathan, here I

will

show you some things about this. I don't think I showed you as you can see that someone has put some normal cables in here trying to use them as plug cables, which tells me that someone was trying. For

start

ers the carburetor is loose, it's not bolted on very well, so dad is another son, but anyway, everything looks pretty good here, it needs a really bad power wash and I don't know if we'll do it before or after Go to sleep. I need to clean everything really good, which

will

help with the airflow and the cooler that they were hanging from, but a couple of things I want to show you, one thing I did notice is our trailer and it's actually on a wire, so I have not looked. there, unless it's on, it could be on the steering wheel, but it could be in the wolf filling right there, but I don't know if I showed this before or not, but you got a full score here and I guess a lower one. and mark empty here and it's going to be very empty, okay, this piece here is a float and as you can see, but leave it empty, this ceiling

s to get full again, so it just floats in the hallway like a gas .

The gauge manifolds are in excellent excellent condition on this thing. I mean, you know it goes right back to the castings with the Nash, you know how good a casting is, it's amazing and then the exhaust comes out and runs down the front. Of course, here you have a fan that goes up and blows back into the air, blows straight down through the cylinders. What we have is an exhaust that rotates and enters something like what would be a heater or preheater to heat the fuel before it enters. the manifold, so it just goes through and then the exhaust goes down and of course the carburetor runs normally, I'm not sure what this is, it's connected here and it has, you know, I'm assuming six volts, I'm not sure what kind kind of whatever, we're going to have to figure out a lot of this stuff as we go, some things you know for me once, some things I'm just not and it looks like a choke cable, they finance a hook, we have a cable of the accelerator that in reality or accelerate that is attached to the steering wheel also along with the pedal this is actually for an old camp just say it is original you see the only thing I see that is really missing that bothers me a little with this I need to check the box and make sure and see if it's there and now it would be the fuel connector that goes here, it's coming from this grass, someone cut the fuel line, but also if you see there's a fuel line going up, it's probably from the tank and I wouldn't put one in. here and I think it's listed, you could get this with a NAC or a fuel pump or vacuum and I'm assuming this is a factory six volt electric fuel pump, it may be aftermarket but I saw a listing where you know there was an AC pump available so it may or may not be but anyway I didn't see AC in it of course it didn't look very strong.

I mean, I can't tell the brand. I can sit in front of the camera, but anyway. Of course, we'll be using a cheaper tank and I think one thing we'll have to do is remove the valve cap here or the air deflector or whatever you want to call it, cover the valves somehow. We'll call it a vote pillar, we'll take it down real quick and I'll show you what they had for what originally had four socket bars and then what they had put in one, thanks for sure they built. covers to last, heavy, ok, this is what we have, we have the spark plug wires running up and the original ones and they would have been mounted right here on the spark plugs, it's just that I'm running to the side of this track all the way from I'll come back and around and I'll show you where they run this along this tube and here are the old spark plug wires so we're definitely not going to put them back into that tube for now, that's going to be a job now.

You know, I'm surprised they did that because you know they're so bad with Orkin anyway when they get a little old, especially the copper core or you know, the steel core that looks like steel, maybe stainless, I don't know . but once they crack a little bit then you know your installation is going to jump from one to the other, so what we're going to do is create some sort of spark plug wires here, go from the cap, go from the center. and just turn them up like they did temporarily and run them over to the sockets.

The only bad thing is you know from what I'm seeing what they had advertised is that this ass is a pressurized cooling system so here's our fan. Okay, so what I'm saying is you know this would have been sealed and that's one of the reasons they have the spark plug wires working like they do. This would be sealed and all air out. It would be forced to go through there instead of leaking out anywhere, but with all this dirt and grime in here, you know, it's clogging up the fans and stuff, it's not a good bench, so it's really going to be necessary. clean it very well, I don't know.

This thing has some big plugs, there is a two piece plug that comes apart and then it looks like the rest are one piece. No, I don't think it's for a slug. It looks very big, but it could be saved. that, but anyway, you see these spark plug wires coming up, so these ends probably, if you unscrew them and reuse them, that's something we're going to have to figure out how we're going to do to get the wires back on. that the tube is going to be a tall order and I'm not sure how or how I want to do this, but we'll figure it out, we just don't want to, I don't want to mess with anything, I don't want to have to do, you know, any cutting to get wires out or something like that. and I definitely don't want this to overheat and we want to try to do the best we can to get back to how it should be.

You can see a tube. Right there the rubber bands are missing around it, we are supposed to seal the push rod; okay, let's turn it over and watch it turn it slowly and see what we have a stuck exhaust valve and it would be intact and we won't. got my exhaust stuck rest on my thinker alright whatever you're ready alright guys so we gotta run out the valves stuck on this thing two and three son or two and three everything else is pretty good , so what we'll do is work with the valves and release them before we do anything else to try to start them and I vote one end sprayed them, we'll let them sit for a while and then we'll work with them from there, okay, thanks.

This one came loose, no problem, this one still sticks, we're going to keep working with it, playing around a little to get the spark plugs out, as you can see, they're big. I don't know what size is bigger, 19 millimeters. I think so, I'm sure it is, but it's not a pipe thread like some of the old ones, but yes, this is one that you can take apart. I don't think my friend has seen them before, but you can remove the center and actually clean this or replace the center and put it back together, it doesn't look too bad, so anyway I'm going to keep playing with it and trying to get that number two escape in one step.

Can I remove this rocker cover and work with it? there, but I don't want to bend it or do anything too drastic, so we'll just easily work with it and like Cydia, all the others seem to be working fine, this one only showed up once and that's fine, that's it. It's really stuck, but you know, I guess sitting, you know even better, you have to wait for that, okay, go ahead, okay, we're out of time, we went through his time in the tests because we screwed up, don't call me that, come in . Sir here, pull the advance completely, completely, completely advanced, it broke.

Put these spark plug wires on Noah's Tahoe, maybe with some branches that were too tight and that has to be okay. The chicken coop is still getting a little warm. Okay, what we have here is a glitch. compress we still don't have any compression at home, someone without those two, done or not. I guess I hope we get to shoot the order and buy the right one because I don't know what it is for sure what the thought is enough stem compression What are you thinking? You don't have much suction here. Thank you. The valves are not seated where there is a problem with the ring.

Well, friends, let's give up on mine, we can't check the compression because the spark. The plug holes are too big so we don't have a compression tester to test it and I'm not sure what we'll do yet, long pull cylinders or if we're going to wait until I put the tires on and pull them. To start it, it doesn't have enough suction. I'm holding my hand on the carburetor to start it like it should so I don't know what to do. It's hidden pretty well, but I don't think it has enough compression to take off. We could probably crank it up and get it running.

We will almost hear any noise. All valves are closing completely. I don't think they're looking for something really good, but we'll keep playing with it. We will try again. We have some gasoline and a powder magazine. I hadn't reviewed it. I hope the exhaust isn't blocked by mice or something causing all this trouble but I have a feeling it could just be the valves not seating here, don't give it another chance okay all ready when you are . bah, she's trying really hard, so close, okay friends, good talk this time, I'm ready when you are or charlie, whatever you're already pushing, very close, yeah. yeah take five million ready when you are yeah you see sandblast this is all the lights eleven and a champion so we'll blue sand all the sand now let's try it if it doesn't start I can't let's take it to the scrapyard because it has a wooden frame, so we have to take it to firewood processing and see if we can get rid of it.

Well, I can use a cigarette right now. No, so Monday will be two weeks, two weeks of pride. of you about six hours six hours he had been on vacation I think like most of our problems our time is so what are you doing to make it advanced enough? So I think I go one level in every way and then we go, we teach. a little bit with the cable, we should be able to get enough advance because I still think that's our problem, we just don't have enough advance all the time, it's been our main problem all along, but someone had messed with this. well before we did it, as you can see by the beautiful green flood water, what I thought was not daylight, okay, she runs, she actually made it work pretty well until the end and, yes, we we rotted, I guess we ran out of gas before and a A friend of mine was out there and he had some in the back of his truck and he gave us a full tank and that will run out, anyway, it is what it is, but we do it , if we have a fairly good operation, it is No smoking or breaking or anything like that.

We're fine-tuning the timing and the carburetor and we'll get everything fixed so the rear tires will be here on Monday. I don't know if we'll have a chance to work on that or not work on the coupe. I'll show you real quick just to update you because I won't be posting a video today. I ran out of space on my card. on my phone on my camera so I'm using my cell phone and I think it probably shoots a little better, but anyway, this is where we're working on the driveshafts, I had it dialed, I indicated that it ends while we're going to do it . it's welded on, it's pretty cut up now and as soon as we get the body done, we'll get some paint, let it sit anyway, that's it and hopefully the next video on the Franklin will drive it and hopefully the The next video on this will be body painting, but we'll see, okay, I appreciate it, man, look, bye, bye, Charlie.
