Not too sure it’s the same guy. The one I know is EXTREMELY cheap. He’s so broke, when he went to school, he couldn’t even pay attention!-

It’s a very simple setup. If the handle is pushed in, it’s “in” freewheeling, if the handle is “out” it’s out of free wheeling. It should only be shifted in and out at 2 or 3 mph with the clutch pushed all the way in. The clutch adjustment has NOTHING to do the free wheeling. The problem is with the sprag, and they can have multiple issues depending on the situation. They can also stick. If you were shifting it in and out at speed with or without using the clutch, you can have issues. It should be rather easy to determine if the handle is all the way in, or out. If it’s all the way out and not driving, it’s time to take it apart. I have only seen them fail from abuse......and you have to work at it. I put 300 miles on an identical 1934 unit this week at the Pierce meet and we had no issues........and the other five similar cars also had no issues. Please post a photo of the car.......and where it came from. Maybe we will know the history and any past problems. Photo is the hotel parking lot.

Sorry I didn’t post the car’s story.......we had the trip to hell taking the car from Massachuetts to Hershey. Flat tire, road closed for two hours due to an accident, pouring rain, traffic.......well, we arrived safe. Will unload the car in the morning and “blog” the tour. Best, Ed.

Dave......when do you think the last time a Duesenberg was pulled out of a barn where it had been hiding for decades? Sounds like an urban legend. ...........too good to be true!🥸
Im just surprised it wasn’t a open car........😛

Problem is was it a real chassis, or floor sweepings? Whatever it was, it’s still around. Today, the name of the game is all numbers matching. Lots of cars are being unscrambled now.........including some big boy toys that got bastardized back in the 50’s and 60’s.

Hello, they tend to be in very poor condition as they used pot metal and age has caused them to fail. What is the exact application? I replaced my EM series unit with a Bosch DU4 and it not only works fine, it’s a much better unit.
