That's a very sharp statement from 30 CCP!


The low compression and the coarse carburetor as well as the rarely optimal ignition point result in never optimum stoichiometric combustion.

Even the unregulated huge cooling water system and oil volume can not run the engine in the favorable operating temperature. Therefore, sooty spark plugs, once brighter, sometimes darker, are just as normal as a clutch that jerks something, a gear that sometimes scrapes and a wobbly steering.

This is normal for a 90-year-old car, so it pardons many of the mistakes, that modern engines would kill if they did not have 1000 electronic guards.

You have to drive with it, you have to be generous and tolerant like with your beloved old frail dog who does not hear well anymore and sees and hobbles.

That's life with our old iron car "Model A"!
