Dexta Starting Problems

We have a '58 Dexta that either has a starting problem or we just don't know how to start it. We turn on the key and the starter turns but the Bendix doesn't engage the flywheel. When we try to engage the starter control rod nothing happens. The primer for the fuel tank also seems to have seized. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me when i got mine i spent 2 hours figuring out how to i finally got it 1. turn on the key 2. push the primer mine is hard to push so i have to use a hammer to push it 3. press the black button near the starter key for 10 to 20 seconds 4. move the trottle up a bit 5. push down the starting lever try to not leaveit on for 2 long. and it should start it, it might like mine had, have the belt slip if it battery isnt strong enough i use a 900 amp battery

best luck,
al

Make sure that the small tap on the manifold, from the primer pipe is turned on. These primers should not be too hard to push.
