Either the ACR on the cam is messed up, or you have a weak S/G or something. If the valve was stuck shut bad, the starter wouldn't be able to turn it over at all, regardless of whether or not the plug was installed.

I Picked up a 1650 the PO said had bad starter turned over slow had spark removed plug turned over good set the points started right up. May want to look there.

William R., did you take a set of jumper cables yet direct from battery to starter to make sure all cable/connections are good ??

 

[lrehm]

Jumping from the battery to the S/G doesn't help. I'm thinking Matt might be on the right track with the ACR issues. I guess I might have to move up the schedule on the rebuild for that engine.

Thanks for all the responses!

How does the steering wheel come off on my CC Original? I took steering nut off, and gave it a pull and stuck tight. I don't want to use brute force like I normally do, and break things. I need to do this right. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. Mike

Michael G.-

You need to make something like this:

Matt G.
Thank you for the picture, I have one of these pullers. Wasn't sure how it might be used. Thank you. MIke

 

[mgonitzke]

Don't forget to put something between the end of the steering shaft and the bolt on the puller, or you will mushroom and otherwise destroy the threaded end of the steering shaft.

 

[mglenn]

If I leave the nut lightly threaded on and get the wheel to start coming off, will it pull off by hand the rest of the way? Or will it need to be pulled all the way? Is this a tight spline on the steering shaft?

 

[mgonitzke]

Possibly; it depends on how rusty the spline is. It should pop right off, but that doesn't always happen. Just don't put the pointy end of the puller bolt into the end of the steering shaft. There should be a round spacer included with the puller that is made for that.

I've removed 100+ steering wheels using this method. Those $50.00 bets many guys lost because they couldn't do it, makes it a proven method to me.
After soaking with Kroil or PB Blaster, it takes less than a minute.
