Default Re: Water temp problem

Carburetors are all different so there is no set correct GAV setting. Set it where the engine runs best.

180 is about right. I would worry if it gets to 210 or starts to boil. The Model A has a combination water pump and thermosyphon system so the coolant has a greater flow rate at higher temperatures.
