I have a '41 Dodge WC series with the standard flathead engine- This truck WILL NOT start without using starting fluid first- I have tried a tune-up, new carb., new fuel pump, hotter plugs, timing, new distrib., etc., etc.- Does anyone have any ideas? Are the valves suspect here? Keep in mind this is "one tired old truck" so a major overhaul is due soon, but I would like to keep it running through the winter. I really appreciate everyones help on my brake and 12 v. conversion questions.
