I am at my wit's end with trying to get this '31 Vickie running right. This is my first Model A and I just can't seem to get it figured out. It starts, with difficulty, but backfires on acceleration and just won't run right . I have tried to time this thing over and over and still no go. I have changed the carb three times. No help.
Does anyone know of someone in the greater Denver area that could lend me a hand? I can have this car trucked to their shop or they can come to mine. I live in Loveland, Co.
Any suggestions would be great. You can PM me with the contact if you prefer. Thank you,
Phil
