Well I have my A running again. But not very well. I had an issue with ignition I replaced plugs, coil, coil wire, rebuilt distributor etc and it started right up. Now it runs but not real well missing and sputtering some and a little backfire. I am going to recheck my timing again first. I also replaced carb with rebuilt one. My question today is this. When I cut off fuel valve to let it die the last few seconds the idle increases and engine smooths out just fine. Is that telling me my problem may be carb related or is that normal? Thanks Joe Bohannon
