SUCCESS!!!!!! After too long a break from working on the Willys, I got back to cleaning up the grounding areas and,you read it¡.SUCCESS!!!! It ¡°roared¡± to life!?? Which,of course , created more questions¡.& here they are¡.background-46 CJ2A stock,6-volt, new clutch parts minus clutch fork¡(1)the engine starts and idles in neutral until I release the clutch and then it stalls. I haven¡¯t a clue on this one¡¡. (2)I have rebuilt the transmission via Rick Stivers T-90 transfer case video and am confident it¡¯s good, but I¡¯m unable to get forward or reverse motion. I¡¯m not sure the transfer case is engaging¡.. I¡¯m pretty sure there are IN and OUT (4wd) and HI,N,LOW(gear ratios) for the 2 handles. I may just need to roll it forward and back to engage to engage here¡.. ran out of time to troubleshoot here¡¡.or it¡¯s clutch related(adjustment?)¡..hoping for some starting points to troubleshoot here¡.thanks for any and all help¡.& more questions to follow I¡¯m sure¡..Mike?

And also can I get a checklist of areas to check for paint/corrosion removal for grounds? I know of braided wire on battery tray/engine and battery cable corrosion¡¡but I¡¯d bet there are several others I may have missed¡..thanks, Mike

Hi Phillip,
Just a question regarding your suggestion to clean the metal for best electrical contact.? I am getting the lights working on my truck and have a question. For example, if you are removing paint from where say the light bracket attaches to the truck bed. Isn't the spot where the burnished pieces meet going to be more?susceptible?to corrosion? Is there a way to insure good electrical contact while guarding against corrosion?
Thanks
Ted

Make sure all metal-to-metal contact areas are clean! Any paint or primer will impede electrical flow! Burnish everything! Sometimes when we restore, we tend to paint the hell out of everything to make it pretty, which is commendable, but the electrical contacts have to be clean metal! Just a thought! Good luck! -Dr.Phil
