This is a very common problem.

If engine starts and runs a second or two then stalls.

Most likely cause is failure to open the GAV ONE turn before starting the engine.

This is covered in the Model A Owners Manual.



If temperature is 10 or 20 below zero then More GAV may be needed to keep engine running.
