Posted this experience before. The jets can inadvertently be installed in the wrong position in the carburetor body. It will run, but obviously will not function properly. Once installed correctly, stalling stopped, idle adjustment functioned, and GAV function was restored.

I inadvertently installed the jets incorrectly (yes, they will screw in the carb body in the wrong position and will run) after engine rebuild. Took two days to troubleshoot the problem. Installed the jets in the correct hole and it ran fine. No more stalling. Hope this is your problem so you...

John Holland of Valley City, Ohio just repaired/rebuilt my Trico vacuum wiper motor. It works fine now and the turn around time was about a week. The charge was $85 plus shipping and handling. I highly recommend him and his service. His phone number is 330-483-3896. Tom

Our A has been stalling the past few hot days here in Michigan. What I discovered is that the carburetor temperature was between 130 -140 degrees. I opened the drain on the carb and a small amount of fuel discharged. I waited a few minutes and the fuel failed to begin flowing. I tapped on...

Tyler, Best wishes as you resolve your overheating. This morning a friend of mine that has a Model T suggested that I use a product called Water Wetter in the coolant. The claim by the manufacturer, Red Line, is that it will reduce the temp. by 20 degrees. I purchased two bottles this morning...

Mike, Yes, I have checked for continuity, and my fuel line has a section of rubber hose. Thanks for your suggestions. Tom

Gar, I would like to purchase one of your carburetor insulators for my 1930 A. Maybe this will prevent vaporization on the extremely hot days. Tom. thomas.fanning@berrienresa.org Phone: 269-473-4444
