Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
So, I ran it with the leads disconnected for maybe 15 minutes at a fast idle, about 1,200 rpm, and it ran great the whole time. So I reconnected the leads, and it did fire up again (with a little...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
Guys. My head hurts. I had this A running flawlessly yesterday, and I go out to fire it up today (VERY COLD DAY), and it fires off, runs a bit, and then dies, like somebody cut the ignition. I try to...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
Thanks Bob! I just figured this out a few hours ago. I’ve got this A drivable now, but I think the rotor phasing is still a little bit off. It’s hard to know if the points are in the wrong place on...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
I figured I’d share these pictures to illustrate what I mean when I say that the points plate contacts the distributor body before I can get very much advance via the lever. If anybody has any...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
I had read that in another post. The battery and every wire in the system are all brand new. The generator has cleanly terminated 10ga (way overkill) all the way up to the ammeter and back out to the...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
Thanks Bruce, I pretty much agree. I’d like to make it work with what’s there, but perhaps that’s a too-tall order. So much of the Model A stuff I’ve purchased in the past (mainly body panels and...

Re: Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
Thank you Steve. I actually watched that right after I saw Joe’s post. It comes up when you Google “Model A Third Brush Adjustment” or something along those lines anyway. You made that make sense. I...

Need Help with a Model A that’s Overcharging.
Don’t mind my previous post. My Model A seems to have started charging suddenly after I jumped the cutout terminals and motored the generator. BUT…now it’s overcharging. This A didn’t have any sort...

Re: I'm not a Model A person
