  16. Wonky Wiper

    I believe that all three of my wiper motors are original (1972) and two of them run the perfect arc. The third one, however, is running about 20 degrees too far. Is there some way to adjust the total arc of the motor/gears etc.? Thanx Craig from rainy BC

    I'm usually running at 13-1400 rpm (1972 53 stretched to 61) and life is great. If I try to run at 1800 plus, I get persistent white smoke. It is not steam.
