Default Re: Model A dies over 45 mph

I would check and adjust points gap and timing . When trying to get a higher top speed , be sure to be running full advance . The owners manual states full advance at speed . Some are so afraid of full advance that they run retarded . Running retarded isn't a good thing and doesn't save anything . I would check to see if the carburetor was opening all the way at full throttle . Check for brake drag . Sometimes opening the GAV a bit can add a little speed so I've been told .
