There seems to be a tendency for new folks to get some rattle can primer to cover spots they are working on. A lot of the off the shelf stuff at WalMart , Home Depot and big box auto stores is lacquer primer. Lacquer will allow moisture to go thru. When I got the truck I'm now finishing it had primer all over it.Actually did not look all that bad but since I had no idea what was done under it I decided to strip it all off with a DA and wire wheel. Under the primer I found a complete coverage of red dust :ie surface rust.Your best bet is to always pick a brand and stick to it for all products. Primer, Surfacer, Etching color coat etc. Pick a brand and use only it. Talk to real experts about grades of sandpaper, fillers, blocking, cutting and polishing etc etc. I do all my own painting and frankly my spraying is suspect.So I learned (no I HAD to learn ) to use a buffer. I've seen so many color coats with trash, flies, dust etc that just a little time with a buffer would have made it so much better. The answer always is "I'm afraid of a buffer". Why ? Use waffle foam pads, run the buffer slower (yes it will take longer but so what), have a spray bottle of water handy to spritz the surface now and then as you buff.Stay off edges or pay attention to which way the buffer turns. If you screw it up, fix it, not a big deal.

I’d check the fuel pump. A hole in the diaphragm can dump raw fuel straight to the crankcase. 

Carefully check your carb. float bowl for any trash of any kind. It may be just a sticky needle. If the needle does stick it may mean your tank is dirty. intermittent  sticking means you should clean the whole fuel system. good luck. Rich W.

Weather permitting, I've been using my prewar to drive into town ( 16 miles round trip...check oil before every trip ).  Early this week, before taking it out, I checked and found the crankcase full of gasoline.  I put the car on the lift, drained the crankcase, and left it raised for a couple of days thinking that if  the float in the carburetor is hung up, fuel will continue to percolate down through the carb, into the crankcase and onto a sheet of white paper placed under the open drain hole.  Two days and not one drip.  Fuel level in the gas tank with the petcock open is unchanged.
For that much gasoline to have gotten into the sump, it would have to be a slow drip over the course of the previous week.  This car has a Tillotson DY 1A carburetor calibrated to 7/8 turn idle and 1 5/8 turn main adjustment.  Surely the answer is right in front of me, I just can't see it.

The Ohio region sells them to support Crosley club events, such as donating the frames that were used for the awards. We sell them for $15 apiece. Shipping is eight dollars and we can ship up to eight frames for the eight dollar cost. I am out of town for two weeks, but could ship them after I return. The check should be made out to Crosley Automobile Club-Ohio Region.

How do I get a couple of those license plate frames that the virtual car show winners were given? I really like them.

I removed all 4 of my wheel cylinders to be replaced. I did nor realize that they were different front front and back. Can anyone tell me if the 1" goes in the front or back? 1951 Super Sport.

Midwest Crosley Owners,
The Village of Utica, IL has given us tentative approval to hold our Illinois Region Meet on Sunday, Sept. 13 in Danny Carey Memorial Park.

To get this approval, they requested and I provided information about an approximate number of people and our activities.

I am honored, thanks to Jim , Jeff and Janyne for everything. I bright spot in an otherwise crappy year.

Unless I messed up something all the descriptions have been added and award ribbons added to the picture and listed for each class. You may have to refresh your browser, it may be buffering the old pages, in order to see all the changes to the show pages.

Gabe you said it all. I don't know if I'll ever make it to Wauseon but there is a special feeling that one gets by being associated with this group of people and cars. 
Thank You All
