    46 Lincoln signal light circuit wiring diagram

    in Technical

    Posted

    Thank you , 

    I have a better understanding of the system now .   And seemingly both sides have shorts.  I put a new 10amp fuse in and blew it. I  Got two signal clicks off the left ( good side)  , then she went.  I’ll tone out wiring soon , unplug lamp holders and go from there. All I have is my electrical back Round, which is why I started with that.  The Mechanical  will come with time. 

    (Both brakes and parking lights share the same bulbs.) 

     

    thank you for your help,  I’ll update you as I trouble shoot.  Hopefully it’ll help someone else in the future.

    Thank you .bloo ,

    I cleaned the fuse holder and then got clean  power to flasher  but the fuse blew when I tried to signal,  I’m assuming I tryied the right .  So I have a short somewhere.   originally the left worked but the right did not  , I’ll refuse and try the left again with  clean contacts  and then see if the right side has the short.  
     

    thank you for replying  and confirming that the  diagram is correct.

    Hello all , 

    I’m trying  to troubleshoot my signal light system .  I’ve repaired the signal switch. 
    but I just don’t understand how it’s wired in with the flasher .  It worked, then it didn’t and now it still doesn’t . The “boos” wiring diagram and the Lincoln diagram doesn’t really break this system down.  ItS prolly simple but I never dealt with this before.    Does any one have Experience with troubleshooting this system? 
     

    Thanks for any help, tips  or tricks available .

    Proper jacking methods so all wheels are off the ground

    in V12 Lincolns Only

    Posted · Edited by 46 Lincoln EFN (see edit history)

     Hello all,

     finally jacking the car up.  
    i jacked it up from the rear pumpkin, one wheel was off the ground two inches the other was not off the ground .   Placing the jacks Equally away from the pumpkin and lowering car onto them they Equaled out. but with 4 wheels off the ground the Passenger side is equally 1 inch higher than the driver side. 

    Could this indicate a warped frame?   The jack stands are at Equal Heights and Equal dimensions away from the pumpkin and front axil set up is the same.  
    Thinking about it Mabey its just bad shock Absorbers or something as simple as that
    Thanks !

    Oil coming out of exhaust system

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello all!

    what’s an spc? 
     

    As for the oil coming out of the exhaust come to think of it I did I did spray blaster small engine tuneup in it and and use a compressor to Disperse the oil to try to clean the valves. It was black like oil and a car smoked like  a fiend for 5 minutes, it Eventually stalled.   I do have low compression on the side that is running , 65 psi  on 11 ( no spark and good compression on passenger side, coil issue I believe )  


    If oil coming out of the exhaust is not a normal symptom of a problem , then it must be the spray I put in.   I had forgotten that when this happened,  it kinda freaked me out , hopefully the valves are just bad on 11 


    Thank you all for your help I really appreciate it

    Hey ! I redid the Compression test with the same results on cylinder 11, 65 psi 

    and this time I got oil coming out of the exhaust system.  And I found out I have no spark on the passenger side plugs .   
     She is fighting me !!

    Hello all , 

    I recently started my V 12 Lincoln and I noticed oil coming out of my holes in my exhaust line   And it was smoking like a Fiend.   I have started it before and this has not  happened , I do know I need a rebuild , well pretty sure .   What could cause this ?   
     

    Thanks

    Wow!! I’ll have to read that few times I’m a newbie lol , and I’ll have to buy that gauge. Thank you for your expertise   I’ll probably be asking more questions when I’m ready to set up and do that  

     

    Again thank you Tom !! 

    Model 06h carburetor

    in V12 Lincolns Only

    Posted · Edited by 46 Lincoln EFN (see edit history)

    Hello all ,

    as you know one problem has many different angles . 
    Ignoring compression for now ,

     

    The symptoms , black plugs on cylinders 

    1, 3,5, 7, 9, 11  clean  plugs on 2,4,6,8,10,12 

    note: plugs are new and car has only Idled for an hour or so-ish totally since they were installed. 
    Seeing the carbon build up on only one side , An Idea was brought up that this carburetor has independent adjustments for richness / lean ness for each side of the engine

    My question is , on the stock Carburetor 06h , is there independent adjustment for each side of the engine ? 
    or could this be a Distributor problem? 
    It could be something else but I gotta start some where . 

    Thanks all !!

    Hey Tom ,

    your right,  I am taking it slow and  gathering info prior to Jumping the gun. 
    The engine has lots of miles, I can only assume bases on lack of info condition,   I will now try the “old” trick   On that one cylinder, And retest all on a warm engine , and wide open.  
    Thank you for your expertise.

    Compression questions

    in V12 Lincolns Only

    Posted

    Hello all ,

    this question came up while discussing another and I thought it more Appropriate here

    I tested my compression on my V 12 1946 Lincolns engine. 

    I did not have the choke opened at all,or  the throttle opened , while doing this test and it was cold .

    I was told by Ray to put a little bit of oil in each socket and crank it over 6-8 times then wait 30 Minutes prior to testing 

    The results 

    clean plugs       Black plugs 

    12 90.               11.  60. “ Wet” 65 

    10 105               9.   90

    8   100.              7.    80

    6.  110.               5.    95

    4.   95.               3    80

    2.   100.              1.   85

    the car has only run for an hour total in the last unknow amount of years . 


    I was told that the valves may be gunked up on cylinders 1-11  especially on 11  seeing how the carbon build up was on the plugs ( new plugs , hour of use Idling ) 

    I was told of an old method that may help to un gunk the valves if that’s the problem. 


      I was also told that it could be running rich on that side causing the black plugs . As the carburetor could be feeding  each cylinder row independently. It is a stock model 06h 

    Is this true ?
    Also Could I have a distributor issue causing the excess carbon build up? And  Is it normal to have bad compression on one side of the engine if it’s  just the rings ect.  

    I hope this is clear  if not I can try to explain better

     

    thanks all in advance  .

    Testing for spark, Lincoln v12

    Interesting, Carb King 

    Well the carb is a model o6h Lincoln v12 

    mill try to Research it more I do have books on it. I didn’t see any flow chart but I’ll look it over again . 

     

    On cylinder 11  it comes in at 60 psi 

    the rest on that line up range from 85 to 95 psi.  
    On Cylinders 2  through 12 it ranges from 90 - 110 . What internally besides valves or rings could be going on? 
    I guess this should be a compression “title” not a spark title.   Should I re ask or just keep going ?  Really there’s a million questions I just wanna ask Them in the correct areas. 
     

    thanks!!

    Hello Pete , 

    Thank you, that’s probably the issue!
      I didn’t realize  that the two barrels had independent adjustment ,  but that make total sense and is fantastic news . Now to find the Adjustment screws. 

    Unfortunately I have great compression on the side that’s lean and very poor on the side that’s rich.   I’m hoping its carbon build up on the valves. I was told of an old trick Using buster small engine tuneup and a compressor.   I’m hoping that works or the damn thing needs a rebuild lol .   Every hour with this vehicle I’m learning more and more. 
     

    Thanks again Pete !

    Hello all , 

    I have a Lincoln v12 and want to test for spark l, as i have some real black spark plugs on one side and clean ones on another , among other issues ……
    Can I simply test power from the ends of the spark plug wires ( I don’t see why not ) or do I have to test from the Distributor points? 


    If this topic should be in a Different area please let me know . 
     

    Thank you,
