Default Re: newbee general Model A questions

Merry Christmas.
Thanks for info. I am surfing the Red book right now and see I should look at it before going to the list.

Sometime I get confused over what I think I remember from the day and what is applicable to my 30A <G>. Having so many problems/opportunities with the "A", the struggle is what is mandatory now vs able to put off a while.

Since my wife won't give up her side of the garage, I just want to be able to go for ice cream,etc and maybe attempt an engine overall in a year or so.

Currently I think the timing, plug gap, rotor gap, point gap is finally correct but unable to determine if that solves my radiator steaming problem since engine rough running. Don't know if I goofed up GAV or leaking exhaust manifold is the cause or a contributor.

Sorry if long winded but I always felt better after seeing print <G>. About 15 years ago, built my experimental, homebuilt plane with much discussion among a similiar knowledgable group.

Again, thanks.
Dick
