[How to Repair Bendix on 1930 Franklin Starter?]

Don,

 

As far as a replacement for your sheared off screw, you can get two replacement screws at Langs Old Car Parts (www.modeltford.com).  Their part number is 5023-4-5.  I know these are for a Ford Model T, but they are exact replacements and work fine.  My 1930 starters (I have two) do not have the two shims that you show in the picture.

 

Regards,

[Need Help on Adjusting Valves on 1930 Franklin]

Hello,

 

I am attempting to adjust the valves on my 1930 Franklin and have run into an issue that I have not seen before.  I adusted the valves for cylinders 1, 4, and 2.  When I got to cylinder 6 I am finding that i cannot get the gap to open for the exhaust valve.  The "rocker arm" / walking beam will not lift off of the top of the valve no matter how much I turn the screw.  I hand cranked the engine a few times and I am seeing the exhaust valve open and close.  Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the valve or walking beam?

 

Thanks for any help or advise!

 

Have a Great Thanksgiving!
