The mystery has been solved! I do know something about timing a Model A so I was sure it was timed right but the reason for the roughness when the spark was advanced had us in a quandary. While running rough with the spark advanced, I shorted the plugs. Both # 1 and 2 caused the engine to slow...

Our '28 starts and runs fine with the spark all the way up. It evens runs fine on the road. However, when the spark is advanced it will slow down and run rough. After verifying the timing sequence and even checking that the TDC of #1 agrees with the timing gear detent, no problem has been found...

Be careful when/where you use it. It is illegal to sound them in some places.

Re: Model A Fella's please read this I am an absolute newby to the site but a kind of a grammarian. "REPORT IT to Ryan or I." Should to be: "REPORT IT to Ryan or me." Sorry, but that is one of my pet peeves.
