WebCadillac Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Had same problem with an old flat head 6 cyl Rambler. It would not budge. It sat up for 6 years and one of the plugs was out of it. We squirted Penetrol (penetrating oil) in all the cylinders, came back the net day with a fresh battery and tapped the switch a few times, waited about 2 hours, tapped the switch again and it spun freely. We did the same thing with a frozen 8-N Ford Tractor and the penetrating oil did the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Johnson Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 We soaked it with Marvel mystery oil for a few days. We set the timing, We got it to start, it ran a little rough at first we discovered it had a bad valve so we had to take care of that problem but as of now it's running beautiful. thank you for all your help 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
