Re: Enclosed Transportation inquiry

I've used Montway I think twice now. No complaints. Like others have said, they are simply the "dealer", kind of like on eBay. You buy from an individual, not eBay, it's just the service/broker.

Re: 1929 Murray Exterior Door Handles

Personal opinion here, but frame off restoration would be restore what's there in my eyes, and if you're spending the money and time on that, a good rechrome probably wont kill you. Someone can...

Re: Trouble starting my Model A

Ethanol sucks in moisture from the air, and could grow algae and other sediment, which could clog the small passages, and it gets "stale" quick, within a few months.

Re: Trouble starting my Model A

Definitely a fuel supply issue. Did you fill it with ethanol gas? Could be gummed up too. Or some dirt stuck in the carb.
