lphfh Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Does anyone know the correct starting procedure for a 1927 Dodge Brothers Car. I am going to try to get my uncle's 27 started for my aunt. Unfortunately my uncle can't remember how to start it. Any help would be appreciated. I am very familiar with Model A Fords but not Dodge Brothers.

JFranklin Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If it hasn't been started in a long time change the oil and gas. Put some oil in the spark plug holes and turn the engine over while the plugs are out. Check the rotation of the distributor rotor to make sure the spark is retarded on startup. Make sure the battery is fully charged and then give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakeside Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Be sure to check the starter for any dust or debris on the brushes. A poor connection will not help. Also verify that you have all your connections clean and tight, in particular the ground wire. I had my starter rebuilt and the engine started on the second rev. Here is the procedure to start as shown in my “Owners Manual “. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
