How did a Ford model T work?

Answer 1

It is very easy.

You have 3 pedals on the floor they are break, clutch, and reverse none are the gas. Then you have the gear shifter there is park or a hand break then push it foward and thats first gear then push it foward again and that is seconed for reverse push the pedal there two foward gears and one reverse gear. Then, on the steering wheel on the left you have the spark leaver and on the right you have the gas.

Starting and Driving(1903-1927)

First, push the spark leaver all the way up and open the gas a little make sure the break is on. Then, to prime the engine (for cold start) open the choke located by the crank at the front, then use your right hand to turn it clockwise and only half way when ready to start turn the key to magneto. Then, use your left hand and turn clockwiseas hard as you can until she starts (the reason why you use your left hand is because if the engine kicks back you will break your wrist).

For Electric start (1919-1927) do all above except going out of your car. Turn the key the other way to electric and you will hear the coils turn in the car under the dashboard or in the engine. With your feet push the starter bution on the floor you cant see it too well but it is there. then once the car is started weather it is crank or electric bring the spark leaver down until the engine smoothes out.
