Many thanks for the comments. All these came from kits purchased from various suppliers and stated to be resistant. None were NOS as Ron said. That being said, Will try as Wesk stated or just try 100% gas. If anyone else has an idea, Please comment on this . I guess trying to rig up a newer carb ...

Just melted another diaphragm in the carburetor with ethanol gas. Will just pure gas help stop this or some sort of additive maybe cool the alcohol down?
Went through several of these over time and figure the fuel pump is next again
Anyone have ideas to help stop this? They say resistant to ethanol ...

Would love to see in a show somewhere. Sure a lot of hours has been put into this one. Takes you back into the past a little before i was born. Have a neighbor that is working on a 1927 or 1929 Dodge i believe now trying to restore. Has the motor running and been driving a ...

Been trying to get old jeep out a little and another problem has started in last few days. When you push foot pedal down to engage starter, sometimes will engage and spin engine but a lot of times will just sound like starter spins but will not engage bendix teeth into the flywheel to spin engine ...

Did place the m-170 voltage regulator on my jeep and it is charging as normal now . Just as the old regulator did,when working. I figured out, that the original one would charge if you manually held contacts together on the cut out relay. Looking at the service manuals that Wesk placed on site to ...

I can see why you must remove battery cable before messing with voltage regulator according to Kendall That info was not put on the lid for nothing ,
That is for sure close as everything is.

The one I have is 1967 year, so no where near the early ones according to Wesk.
I thought is was older than that, but not so.

Have one of these. Will try to locate papers on it or look at data plate and let you know. Not one of the earlier ones though I dont think.

Thanks Wesk for the great info on this as always.
Will look into these sheets of info and try to see what to do. Did remove the regulator yesterday and removed the cover. Did not see any thing that looked burned, melted, or had been hot? Will keep you informed.

Thanks Again
