Much appreciated starlight great place to start

Sorry for the delay to mount the pump i must depress the arm a bit so I do know it’s on the correct side of the cam but thanks studeboy all new fuel line I know I’m good there

fellow studebaker lovers does anyone out there have the original part number for a fuel pump on this 1932 rockne model 65? i am still at a loss as to why i can't get fuel to fill the fuel pump bowl, but if i put a hose in a gas can and pump it manually, it will fill the bowl. the lobe on the cam is intact, so my thinking is i have the wrong pump. i got another one off of ebay, but if the arms are incorrect i obviously didn't fix the issue. please let me know if possible. thanks to everyone taking a look at this post

Thanks jfranklin something strange probably with the lobe

Yes the pump does run off the cam lobe the lobe is there and intact could it be overly warn maybe the arm appears to be correct it is making contact with the lobe

hey fellow studebaker lovers, has anyone ever run into this. i'm attempting to get this rockne running for the first time in 25 years. i can manually pump fuel into the carb, and it will run for a short time. i pulled the pump off, and ran a line into a gas can. i was able to fill the bowl by pumping the fuel pump. but back on the vehicle, i get no fuel flow. really excited to hear it run for even a few seconds, but something still wrong. was thinking about an electric fuel pump. anyone out there have any experience with these or any other ideas? you guys are always great, and i do thank you for any feedback. joe koch

That’s what I was hoping for thanks gary

Harry i was watching you tube on people doing this but it was always round mounts that they were filling in or reinforcing are there companies out there doing this I did do some searching let me know when you can thanks for the response joe

hello antique studebaker lovers i am looking for availability of both front motor mounts on my 1932 rockne model 65 does anyone out there know of a source, or what other mounts might work. finally have a free motor and i'm looking at bringing it back to life. any and all help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance for any and all help joe koch

gary it turns out someone had done a bad job on this kingpin in the past. the machine shop rebored it and replaced the bushings. the pin itself was reusable. he thinks the problem was that it was not bored correctly. no play at all and seems to be free. i am happy thanks for all the post joe

hey robert, very sorry for the delay, but i did get fixed up. my machine shop was able to make new pins and bushings they work great. but thanks for the effort

thanks for checking george, i do think i have a solution that will finally move me forward

thanks gary i am not sure of the final dimensions, i'll check with my guy take care and thanks for the post

Thanks albtrossca, i think i'm closing in on a solution. machine shop is making the pins and hopefully figuring out the bushings. this seems like a truly great forum, i've got a bunch to learn on this journey. but i'm having a blast. thanks to all

Thanks starlight I’ll check that out

Thanks studerex I’ll give that a shot 👍

recently purchased a 1932 studebaker rockne model 65. any idea where i might source a kingpin set for this rockne? i've had several maybe's, but can't seem to find anything. i did buy myself a studebaker parts interchange manual, but no other studebaker is a match. any and all help would be appreciated. i did see the topic discussed in past post, i do apologize if this is old news. thanks in advance for any and all info

Thanks starlight supposedly the engine is free he tried it several years ago
