Does anyone know if this feature was ever added to the junior six engine? I am having difficulty getting the engine restarted after a long hot run. I have checked and replaced many items: battery, coil, points, cap, timing, carb and choke adjustment, fuel pump. I believe my 39 Six is percolating, and essentially pooling and flooding.

West,
I don't think the trim piece shoud be that flat. Is it possible it was accidentally flattened? If it was, the intended means of retaining it on the bucket may no longer be strong eoungh to hold. I recall learning of the senstivity of this design relative to the cast pieces of other models. THe sequence of assmbly may be to insert the clips into the trim, then the assembly onto the bucket.

Do they both look this flat? SOunds like we need to get together (that's the good thing about living so close).

I think I hear an excuse to fire up the 39!

Maybe this is the time for each of us to take the part numbers we have successfully cross referenced and add them along with the store/make (ie: Napa/Echlin) and update the 'Parts Cross Ref' page Kev has set up for us.

I know I have a few I should add.
