Re: What am I missing? 1930 Model A
I am going out on a limb, but here is the proper starting sequence:
1. Turn gas on. If you are leaking gasoline from the carburetor, it is on. Or crack the fuel pipe fitting at the carburetor to see if gas come out.
2. Retard the spark lever. The left lever all the way up.
3. Crack the throttle. Move the right lever down about 4 notches.
4. Turn the mixture control knob counter counter clockwise about 1/2 turn.
5. Turn on the ignition switch.
6. Pull the choke lever all the way out.
7. Crank the engine over about 2 revolutions with the choke out and then let the choke in. Continue cranking the engine.
8. When it starts pull the spark lever all the way down.
9. When it warms up in a few minutes, close the mixture control (clockwise).
