Default Re: My model A wont go faster than 40-45

The intermittent miss at idle can be timing that is more advanced than necessary for idle. It should smooth out if you retard it some. But being sluggish sounds like it is too far retarded. I concur look at your timing rods first for full travel, set the points, then time it. Rember point gap affects timing as well.
