Guest 1941Buick56C Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 As my name states, I have a 1941 56C. What a beauty. Clutch is geeting weak and needs to be replaced. Already have the parts. It backfires when coasting. Not sure why. Pulling oxygen in from the exhaust system? It needs to get a new roof as well at some point. And, the vacuum mechanism to pull the roof up and down is not working properly. It has some pull but not enough to dod the job. Fun!Best,Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Jan, A quick and easy way to check for intake manifold leaks is to spray WD-40 or starter fluid around the carb & intake flanges while the engine is warm and running at idle. If it speeds up, you found the leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barneys_Bud Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 We have a 41 model 56 (Business Coupe). Barney the Buick is on the road and working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I haven't looked at this thread for a while, so here's an update on mine. I've had my '41 Roadmaster on the road for about a year now, and I'm loving it! The interior is not yet fully in, but hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be ready to install. I've put about 1,500 miles on it so far, and though I had a few "teething" troubles, it's been fun to drive. About a month ago, my wife and I were going to a local cruise night, and it started running very bad, and then I smelled gas. So I stopped and opened to hood, and a stream of gas was shooting out of a small hole at the top of the rear carb. As soon as the fuel pressure went down, it stopped though. I let it cool off, and determined that the rear carb was completely full of gas, so I cut a small piece of gasket material to block the gas line into the back carb, and drove home on the front one. What happened was one of the floats got a leak and filled with gas, so the needle valve never closed, and just kept filling the bowl up. Fortunately, I had a spare float, and all is now well again!

41sedanetteowner Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I bought a 1941 Buick Special Sedanette 46S-SE about four months ago. I am in the process of finding the parts and pieces that I will need to complete the car. I've also joined the BCA and have started recieving the "Bugle". I have enjoyed reading other Buick owners stories and tips! I am unsure as to which direction to take with my car. I love the look of a nicely restored car, but I also love the look of a customized car. I wouldn't be getting crazy with it, it would be mostly original, except for paint and lowering the stance, just a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41Roadmaster Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Hi Wayne,Great idea for a thread! Sorry I'm just now getting around to joining.For those of you I haven't met, I have a 1941-76C currently in parts and pieces, but steadily moving forward on restoration. It can be seen under "Me and My Buick" http://forums.aaca.org/f163/anderson-pearson-my-1941-76c-buick-320803.html With the help and support of many of you, I continue to learn more and more about my car. I've been slammed at work lately, so have been lax in updating my thread. I hope to get caught up very soon. By the way, the attached photo is what I'm going for...not what I have...ha, what I have are HIGH aspirations :cool:Go Fireball, go!AndersonJust curious how many other 1941 Buick owners here on this site.Me 1941 Super 51 All original.
