Re: Ever have your engine die at a stop light?
Good Morning...Since it self corrected, you might have had a couple of air bubbles in your fuel line...sort of the beginning of fuel boiling or some such. What I have found is that when I come up to a stop my right fingers are always on the hand throttle and I usually increase the RPM just a bit as I take the car out of gear and coast up to a stop. Once all stopped, I ease the throttle lever up to the stop again. I've had 'A's since the 1960's and old timers then, used to tell me it was from fuel sloshing in the carburetor bowl! They taught me the sequence of coasting up to a stop or a light and adding a bit of hand throttle. It has served me well. Have a great Model A Day! Ernie in Arizona
