...After spending the last few years collecting Cox props, I'm culling the herd and selling a bunch off in lots of 3 on you-know-where. If any of you guys are looking for props (and some are real hard to find sizes), do a Cox search.

And don't worry, I still have plenty for myself...

OOPS! I mislabeled a large lot of 5X3 gray props as 6X3s in my original adds. I ended that listing and relisted it properly, so there's 5 lots of 3 6X3s and 8 lots of 5X3s

Yes, I have some 3-blade Cox pushers (I'm saving my 2-blade Grish's). I'd have to see how many I had before I could say whether I'd sell any, though...

Does a cox reed eingine car which way it runs othe than the starting spring?

digital_trucker

Nope, they'll run just fine either way. I seem to remember seeing some southpaw starter springs once.

Yea, but if you don't have one, I assume that you MUST take the normal startup attachment off in order for it to even run as well.

Q) HOW do you start in the opposite direction?

It seems that when I bought a pair if .049's online a short while ago, the one that was sent to me was 100% normal -- runs like a scalded rabbit. Now the other one didn't have a tank on it - just an air line filter & a needle valve on the rear of the block.

By the way, that needle vale is REALLY long! in comparison.

The 'other one' is probably a SureStart.

Cox made a couple of starter spring types. One was just a plain ol' spring that you hooked around the prop and the other used a plastic ratchet plate that went on like a spinner backplate.

If all else fails you can always flip 'em with your finger (or a chicken stick for you 'fraidy-cats). We always used to keep a rag handy to chuck into the prop if they fired up the wrong way. Some engines seemed like they always wanted to start backwards anyway, so we'd just flip 'em the wrong way to begin with! If you use an electric starter you can always wire it backwards too.

Well then if you don't have a pusher prop you can just put a regular one on backwards and run the engine the backwards.

I finally got it; Dodge Clipper. A form of ancient automobile (jeeze 1955, so they DID have them back then). Tales told around campfires tell of the ease of entry and egress from these vehicles. Hence, I'm sure, the "get outa Dodge" tag. OK, sometimes I'm a little slow. (Did I come close?)

Yuu

Raoul...wasn't that a 'Packard Clipper' ? With the nice little chrome sailing ship?

digital_trucker

The Clipper was indeed made by Packard. My folks used to own one. They still rave about what a great car it was, and faster than the Rocket 88's and so forth too!

Back then, people who couldn't afford Packards bought Cadillacs...
