  1. I may be able to help you. I have a lot of books with diagrams and such. Feel free to email or call me with what you are needing specifically. If you're looking for engineering type drawings on the armature and windings, I doubt you will find that. I'll certainly try and help you if I can.

  2. Thanks for the input. I am by no means a Model A expert. This belonged to a very close friend of mine who passed away last fall. I am trying to help out his wife with a few things including selling this car. I tried to do as much research as I could when listing the car, but I myself do not have a lot of experience with Model A's. I do know it starts up every time and runs/drives very well. I have enjoyed driving it, I try and start it and go for a short drive on a regular basis.

    Thanks,

    Jason

  3. Listed on Ebay, item number 171879380175

    I tried to paste a link, but either I'm doing something wrong or it's not working.

    Check out the Ebay listing and feel free to contact me with any questions. I had a very close friend who passed away after a very short battle with cancer and I'm helping his wife sell this car. I will try to answer all questions as best I can. Thanks for looking.

  4. With the vehicle running, check and see if the cutout points are closed. If not, try physically closing them and see if you get any action on the ammeter. You may need to raise the RPM's a little to actually show a charge. By doing this, you are bypassing the cutout coil. One other way to do this is to actually bypass the cutout by jumping across the cutout from the "Gen" terminal to the "Bat" terminal. If you bypass it, that would free you up to get in the car and watch ammeter. Try this and see what happens. If you are unsure of anything, feel free to contact me directly by email at jason@aerrebuild.com or toll free at 1-866-228-0218

  5. Bob,

    In 1929-30 Rolls Royce made their own generator and that is what you have there, not a Westinghouse. I restored them before in the past. I have wiring diagrams, but no exploded view breakdowns. Let me know if I can help you out in any way.

  6. Mitch,

    I can not guarantee that one of these mini starters would start the engines you are dealing with since I do not know the reason why the original starter will not crank it fast enough. I will say that these Denso starters are a very good starter with a great deal of torque. To be honest, there is no better starter design than these Denso gear reduction starters in my opinion. I also sell the IMI starters if anyone would like a price, let me know.

  7. Dan,

    I'm not sure if you've figured this out or not, but I can help you. I'm guessing the new IMI starter has two connections, one stud and one spade terminal, correct? The purple wire is your "s" terminal wire and needs to go to the spade terminal on the IMI starter. The yellow wire is a feed to your ignition coil and is normally hooked up to the "R" terminal on the starter solenoid. The IMI probably does not have a "R" terminal, but that's not a problem. If it does have a second small spade terminal, then it does have the "R" terminal. If it does not, then you will need to put a larger eyelet on this wire and hook it to the starter motor wire which is a large stud that is covered with a rubber boot. This terminal is on the opposite side of the battery stud that is exposed. Make sure you're clear on all of this before hooking everything up. You want to make sure everything is connected to the correct terminal. Feel free to get a hold of me if you're not quite sure.

    Good Luck!

  8. What terminal on the starter did you hook the wire from the Generator armature terminal to? Does your starter still have the original style solenoid like c49er has pictured? Provided you still have the original 4-post style solenoid like pictured above, I would do the following:

    If your wiring has been messed with, I would dis-connect the wires going to the the two little terminals on the solenoid. After that, basically do exactly what c49er said to do. Hook a wire from the small inside (near the block) terminal on the solenoid to the block somewhere (ground). Using a jumper, hook one end of the jumper to the large battery cable coming to the starter, then touch the other end to the other small terminal on the solenoid. It should engage and start cranking immediately as soon as you touch it. If not, you still have a starter problem or your starter is not grounded. Even with a bad ground, you should still hear the relay inside the solenoid click. Good luck and feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
