1927 Dodge Brothers Starting Procedure

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 “.
