Default Re: My new 1930 2-dr sedan

I'm getting better at downshifting.

I've now put 420 miles on it between 8/1 and 8/19/2025.

When warmed up if I let it slow down to idle it sometimes dies. I've been (a little at a time) turning the screw on what I'm assuming is the idle set screw at the carb throttle shaft just outside the carb body. Is there anything else I need to be doing? I've been using the throttle at the steering wheel to keep the rpm's up enough to keep it from dying.


b-t-w, here are a few pix I took yesterday in Columbia, Missouri. First is with the Mizzou columns in the background. Second is with Lafferre Hall in the background. That's the Engineering School main building where I was a freshman 56 years ago this week. Third is in front of the gates leading into the estate of Dr. Frank Nifong, a prominent early Columbian.
