Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / March 2006Studebaker Cousin
I have put several Studebakers back on the road, so I thought I would try my luck with a Kaiser. I bought a 51 Kaiser that has set for awhile. Got a new battery, cleaned the plugs, new points, voltage regulator. I put some Marvel Mystery oil in each cylinder. This car has the 6 volt positive ground. It turns over and trys to fire. What really bugs me, is when you put the switch on,,lights, radio etc. the amp gauge shows a charge. Is ther a short some place ? Help !!!!!! Thanks, Stude 64 Are you SURE it's postive ground? It sounds like the ammeter is reading backwards, which seems like the battery is in backwards.

I'm sure what Jeff means "have you got the battery hooked up the right way round?" He could also mean that somebody did an "English Ford" on it <G> Jim Bartley on PEI 63 Wagonaire V8 49 Kaiser 6 volt positive ground, running on 6 volt (with ingenious 12 volt alternator and two 6 volt batteries in series) > Are you SURE it's postive ground?

Seems to be a lot of confusion this week regarding the heritage of Kaiser products. <G> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1951-HENRY-J-KAISER-FRAZER-TRADE-FOR-1932-FORD-VI CTORIA_W0QQitemZ4626219633QQcategoryZ6466QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com Step 1.
