Great story, Do you have any period photos of the car when it was in your family?
-
and if thats not the cause ( but sounds like it is ) check your plug gap.
-
gertj, you are right, something has changed. Follow jon37's link. It takes you to the new home page which is very new and odd to me, start clicking on stuff and see what happens.
I do not like change at all , and I do not understand why it happens.
I will ask on the site, as I visit it daily, Trust me, you will want to join our group.

It's very funny, and a nice car.

That my friend is what is called a "score" Good luck and have fun !!

That Mile a Minute has since ( I think ) been restored since Harrah's. It has been " over restored " in my opinion.
the car is in the lobby of a very exclusive "gentalmen's club" in San Mateo.
-
That is some very nice work you have going on there. Thanks for posting.

There is no front brakes on that car

This is a problem on the Hudson Marvel riser as well.
This is what most of us do,
- The heat tube, if original, will have a seam running down its lenght. With a sharp chissel, pry open the seam then you can chase the seam down with a long strong screw driver, collapsing the heat tube within it's self and remove.
-clean up the hole with a wooden dowel with sandpaper on it, mic the hole and find the proper thin wall pipe to replace. It needs to be a good fit, taped in with a dead blow.
with the old tube removed you will want to remove as much of the built up carbon and gunk that is in the riser chamber before you put in the new tube.
Next you will want to make a thin stainless steel plate that covers the exhaust to riser hole. This will stop the hot exhaust from getting in to your heat riser and end your cracking problems.
With todays gas, we want cold air, not hot air. Depending on where you live, you may get some carb iceing untill it is properly warmed up.
Hope this helps and gets you on the road.

Is the one you show in your pictures your's ?
-
Its an Opel from the early 30's. maybe a 29 even.

I got it sorted out for you. I was wrong on my later post. I get messed up some times because some of our Hudson's are right hand drive.
In the photos I'm posting are showing what you are missing. At the base of the steering wheel you should have two rods going to the front of your motor and one going to under the floor boards. It's the one going aft that you are missing. This links the foot throttle pedal to the to the hand lever.
I hope this is clear.
-
You are missing then, the rod that goes from the bottom of the steering colum, to the bottom of the carb linkage.
I will take a photo today of ours and post it for you to see.

Ladys and gentelman..... we have a winner!!
By far Fred the best speedster project I have seen to date! On this form, and any where else I might add. And I am not saying that just because I'm a Hudson nut.
For all of us that follow this speedster form, Im going to say well done.
For those of you are reading this, I have known this car for almost 40 years now. this car has been on Vancouver Island for most of it's life. And I had the privalidge to sit in it and go for a ride when I was about 8 years old with its long past owner Jack.... last name is gone. This would be back in the early 70's. Some where I have a Photo of that day.
Fred is now the currant care taker of this car, and has taken on the last care takers dream to bring it to what it is today. for those of you that are on the internet for brass cars, you may recongnize freds name for his search for the proper wheels as I believe, it had cadilac wheels on it. He is now getting made the proper Hudson style wheels and hubs for this speedster.
This is what this Hudson Looked liked from the factory...
.This is what It looks like today
This my speedster friends, is what a speedster is all about!!
