Re: My 1930 Model A
Suggest you remove that air filter and try her again. Those filters often contribute to poor engine behaviors such as you're reporting. These cars came from the factory without an air filter in an era when there was a lot more debris on the "roads".
Most of us don't use an air filter for various reasons, especially that style. It can soak up gasoline that drips out of the carb. Kinda like driving around with a fire waiting to happen.
I noticed that you mentioned the need for "proper coolant." Plain water will work fine as long as air temps are above freezing....otherwise the usual 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water will do the trick.
Have fun with your A - it looks really nice!
