Re: 1930 Model AA Cant Get Her Over 25 MPH
I thought I was going faster than it read. Why is it out by 15MPH.
Could it be the wrong speedometer gear set (the driven gear is stamped with the ratio) or just a bad speedometer? |

Re: 1930 Model AA Cant Get Her Over 25 MPH
I enjoyed reading through all the posts with everyone trying to help determine why the truck wouldn't go faster than 25 mph and with all the fine tuning advice post after post, this should be required reading for any new Model A'er to learn how to diagnose problems - they will learn a lot of helpful info. Then at the end we find it's a faulty speedometer. Sort of the "Why won't my Model A start?" story and after multiple good Samaritan's advice of fiddle with this and fiddle with that, someone discovers they forgot to turn the gas on or key on. ha As a Model AA owner myself, if Kane couldn't tell the difference between going 25 and 50 in a AA, he must have some really good shocks! When I get mine up to 50 you really know it's hauling A _ _ and bounces all over the road.
