Default Re: Trouble starting my Model A

Sounds like you have a gasoline supply problem. Make sure there is gasoline in the tank and the shut off valve is on. Take the line off the carburetor and put a bucket underneath to catch any gasoline. Turn the gasoline shut off valve on and observe the gasoline flow. It should be a good flow. Be careful with the gasoline. Best to do this outdoors and with a fire extinguisher handy.

If that is all good then take the carburetor off and clean it out with carburetor cleaner and compressed air.
