Re: Model A Ignition Newbie Question
You have done a good job with your ignition system. If the condenser was not working the ignition will sort of work but not very well.
I am still concerned about the soot on the plugs. If you have an air cleaner take it off. The Model A carburetor was not designed to be used with an air cleaner. You may have to readjust your GAV with the air cleaner off. You are purchasing a new screen for the gasoline filter. Why? Is there a lot of crud in the screen and sediment bowl? If so, your carburetor may need to be cleaned out.

I was as well, but purchasing this last October with no history of prior maintenance, I do not know how long they were in there. I do not use an air cleaner. The GAV was set multiple turns CCW - I originally thought it was broken until I turn it so many times CW that it eventually stopped. Since then I've tried operating 1/4 - 1/2 turn CCW from the stop point. It will be interesting if it continues to run well to pull the plugs after a few weeks to see how the plugs look. The glass bowl was yellow/brown on the inside. I figures as a matter of maintenance if I was going to clean the bowl, to replace the screen and gasket as one less potential issue to haunt me down the road. I'll try to insert a picture later on this post. |
