Re: Please help, any advice?
I was also thinking it sounds a lot like the problems I had when using 10% ethanol crap gas, but I believe the owner said he is using the good gas.

Re: Please help, any advice?
I think it's a fuel problem. Do I understand you have a filter in the fuel line seperate from the one in the carb and the one in the settling bowl? If you do, take it out. The A's gravity feed doesn't give enough pressure for a modern filter. I also do not trust coating the inside of the tank. What did you use? Are you sure it's alky proof? Are you finding any little bits of coating material when you clean screens and filters?

Re: Please help, any advice?
Are you using one of the "micro" filters in the glass bowl??

Re: Please help, any advice?
I had a very similar problem. Had a brand new repop distributor so I knew that wasnt the problem. I rebuilt the carb again. Drained all the gas and replaced it. Then rebuilt the sediment bowl. Nothing worked. Even though I had a brand new distributor I pulled it out and put in the old worn out one with barely any point gap and a worn out shaft. Ran perfect. I replaced the condenser in the repop dist and it runs like a champ. Condensers are cheap and I would give it a try.

Yes, weak spark from bad condenser can be compensated for with richer mixture. It is not impossible...

Re: Please help, any advice?
At one point you said that you were going to try the carb from your roadster. I don't recall reading that you did that. If you did, what were the results?
As others have said, try a new coil and then a new condenser (one at a time). Don't question how this could be the problem, just do it to prove that some of us may be wrong. You might surprise yourself. Good luck. Don/WI |

Re: Please help, any advice?
Same thing happened to me two summers ago on a club tour in Michigan/Wisconsin.. I fought for DAYS, never knowing when it might occur. I nursed it home and drained the fuel tank.. It hasn't happened since. As near as I could tell, It started not long after a I bought gas in southern Michigan.

Re: Please help, any advice?
I work long hours during the week, I will change the carb this weekend and post an update. I did have time to put a multimeter on everything and it checks out. But remember I could not check things during the event, because I can't just catch it.
I thank you all for your input. I will keep you updated. |
