Re: Getting my A to idle
Newby,
i had the same problem. It turned out to be the connection rod from the hand throttle lever arm on the steering column to the swinging arm that pushes the throttle open. It was too long. I made a bend in it to shorten it. I made three bends so that the ends were more or less parallel.
You can buy a connector from Snyders, item A-9758, called a spark rod sleeve, that will allow you to shorten the rod that goes to the carburetor. You have to cut the rod and shorten it first then use the sleeve.
