I have an 83 PT35 that I don't have any of the owners manuals for. Any suggestions for getting reproductions for the paperwork. Also the ignition switch stopped cranking the motor (DD 6-92)but it appears to be working, power is not getting to the solenoid. Is there a fuse somewhere in line? I also have a clicking or ticking sound coming from both front wheels, makes one loud click for each revolution. Haven't checked it out yet. Oil bath on bearings is OK. Is it possibly brakes?

Thanks
Robert

Robert:
Owner's manual: Try asking at www.wanderlodge.net, someone there might copy one for you. I assume that you've already tried BlueBird.

Ignition Switch: Try the rear start selector switch (inside engine door). I have heard that this selector switch is a common and inexpensive culprit.

Ticking sound: Remove the wheel, wipe clean the wheel face and hub/brake face where they meet, NO OIL! Reassemble with no oil on these mating surfaces, as well as on the spherical part of the lug-nut and where it contacts the wheel, the clicking should stop. Been there done that.

Thanks,
3am at a rest stop I was trying to use the rear switch but I couldn't find a key that would fit in it. Should the ignition key fit this also? I did try the antitheft switch in both positions. Finally crawled under it a shorted across the starter.

Thanks
Robert
