Greetings, all!
I thought I'd post on here about a (small) success just now. Having got my first CK just this past Saturday, I'm learning quickly. Rewiring determined that the start relay was bad. That being sent for repair led me to check the cold control.
Getting all of that clean, oiled, and points shined up, I tried to check operation by ice/salt bath. No effect. Seeing no perceptible movement on the bellows,i feared the bellows were bad. Then I saw a post somewhere about a CA having an evaporator temp of about 6 degrees. Aha I thought! Drove over to Walmart like a madman, I got a can of duster spray. Turned it over and sprayed liquid on the bulb. 3 seconds later....click. Points behaved perfectly.
Sometimes things just work out. 85 year old American engineering is fantastic.
