Is it electric start. ? Mike. From culver

Hi I'm just going to tell of my 1st experience with my D/B 1918. I bought the car got it home installed a new battery electric fuel pump only pumped while the engine was not running if the engine was running the generator started to charge the fuel pump would stop. ( found out the pump was polarity sensitive I had the new battery in negative ground car was positive ground worked fine after changing cables around) Mike

John if you need I will get you the cable for you and ship it to you nameof bike shop is BucksBikeShop. Valparaiso Indiana. Mike

It was a 23 7 passenger Buick I think I got 14 ft of it . I soldered the wire arm of the float mechanism (put a hole in the end of the float cleaned and tin before hand used a electric iron) also got a cable adjustment sleeve / nut and 2 small cable clamps for the thin inter wire all from a bike repair shop in Valparaiso Indiana the adjustment sleeve / nut was to fine tune the gauge all I need to know when it was low on fuel. I hate to ask my wife to walk to town for more fuel

Hi I fixed my 23. Used bicycle shift/ brake housing has a smooth nylon liner and water proof. Got some stainless steel spring wire was about the size of your hair . The bike cable comes in the bulk. The float was from Snyder's I punched a small hole in the end and slipped it on the wire end a drop of solder sealed the hole and also attached the wire.

I started out with one of the neon trimming lights very dim. Good thing about it was you could dangle it on wires and get it close to the trimming marks. For years we all used white touch up paint tubes .parts dept. Would give it away if it was an obsolete color of white or any light color.

Speedster: I would like to get the tires, and tubes you have for sale I have sent you an email just a few minutes ago hope to hear from you soon . Mike.

Speedster. FedEx shipping shows the wheels should be here Friday I will call you in the afternoon. I sent you a email last night. Mike

I may have a use for the tires and freewill have to check back later in the week. Mike

Ed. Thanks for the information about the arrow in all the books I have on Avanti there has never been mentioned about the arrow thanks I have found out about another fact. My back ground. All most 40yrs as and alignment technician used Hunter. Bear and my old friend Jim Beam all good equipment. My point is and was all 3 companies do not make wheels and would not be an expert on why a wheel failed only that it did fail I saw more wheels fail in the center some from loose lug nuts some just plane over loading side stressing. Thanks. Mike

Champion did not design any ignition systems they only make a device to ignite the fuel charge. Hunter doesn't make wheels or have a degree in metallurgy. No Judge would allow their testimony that they are experts in wheels or ignition system

I don't know the answer to the logo please inform me . Back to the wheels Hunter makes top of the line equipment don't get me wrong but that's all the make ( no wheels or rims) that would be like saying Champion Spark plug Co were electrical engineers and a expert on ignition systems all Hunter sees it the results. My 2¢ Mike

Point well taken sorry I got off of the subject . Mike

Matt please take your place at the head of the class. This sounds like the global warming story if you ask me. I'm running radial tires on my 1963 Avanti for about 25k miles and yet to have a rim problem and it's been coast to coast hard.

1912 Staver has my vote.

Not really auto related but while putting in a new drainage tile we found an old Bruder. (sp) house a manure loader a front push bumper lots of old bottles.

Ok here's my story. Brought an Avanti with a check Told the used car dealer I would come back the next day to pick it up. He called the next day said he could not sell the problem with the title. I went up there ask for my car or my check he did have my check or the car He told me he would give me a check on his business. Ok went to his Bank would not cash the check I did not have an account there . It's your customer I told the lady well ok it gets better now she tells me they do not have that much cash in the bank even with cars from the ATM machine. Will I take a cashier check. You better not charge me for it. Ok lesson learned. Mike

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I called Coker talked to. Matt he was very helpful I ask some questions that I would think normally do not come up he had the answer . I think he knows how to listen and apply it very well. Told him I had gotten tires, there some time ago ( turned out was 15 yrs ago ) then proceeded to tell me the size and the date. What a guy. Mike

I called Coker about the new tires and tubes it is a go so I'm getting closer New wheels and tires will change the final gearing about 10% . Thanks for pro your help and a happy thanksgiving. Mike

Hold the presses. Bob called from California he has wheels rims and all for $550.00 Will have to get tires yet. Thanks for all your help. Mike

Well I have to start somewhere just as well get the spokes done . I'm 3rd generation cabinet maker so the wood part of this process is not a problem at all . I will email address and all sometime Monday. Thanks. Mike.

K 31 Thanks for the phone number I'll call Bob tomorrow am sure hope that he can help my Thanks. Mike

Willy. When you box up the wheels please use cardboard box if you use a wood box ups charges more must be the wood will not slide on their conveyor system Thanks Mike. 574 286 0613

I called Gene no help he recommended a guy in California Bob Stephan. Not sure of the last name spelling he did not have a phone number for him. Guess I'm back to so one. Mike

Not sure about your car. But my 23 the ignition key was the same as the transmission lock had a key cut at a lock Smith for the ignition switch and bingo it fits the transmission also. Mike
