Well that was a proverbial pain in the old butt. I worked on it a majority of the day Friday and finally traced the problem to...yet another loose ground!!!! This time it was my fault, When I fixed the first loose ground I connected two wires with a crimp and didnt mash the metal together over the b...

Thanks for the ideas gents, I am on my way to get a new coil momentarily. I tested the old coil for spark and it looked very weak to my inexpert eyes. I think a previous owner smashed it in a fit of rage, But that is pure conjecture. When I got the car it had some few signs of previous work. The oil...

I have a weird problem with my 66 Toro. It gradually has been running more rough and then got to a point where it would not start, then I got it started now it won't start, again.

I remember reading some of them came with manuals and wondered if anyone had one they didn't need ( cable and all). I have a parts car so willing to trade equal value item. Chec...

I read your first post again, I believe you need the thin longer tube....

Hello Doc, I've made some progress since yesterday, once I figured the trick to the wiper arms. The first pics is what I have removed ( washer motor, carb. Air breather dual snorkel type). The motor appears to FROZEN, I tried to apply 12 v , 6 amp current as per youtube video and it just clicks. The...
