when i start my 23 screenside the motor turns over painfully. slow is this correct or is my starter needing a look at ? When it finally starts and runs it will not smooth out unless i un hook the vacume line coming from the intake,any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Sharpy 740-663-5010

turns very slow with any battery or even when jump starting off my truck,never had running before.having never owned or worked on any old car can you tell me this? should this big 12 volt starter/generator turn over like any normal vehicle ? or is it supposed to turn very very slowly ?

It won't spin like a modern car but will turn over at a good clip. Starter/generator sounds weak. Mine was like that, barely charged too. Having to remove the vacuum line indicates the float is sunk or stuck in your vacuum tank. It is sucking fuel directly into the intake.

Buy a mechanics instruction manual from Meyer early dodge, a member here
and start there needs spark gas and air and hope timing not off.
