GAV Question

[Nabco]

Hi gentlemen, I'm a new A owner, my father-in-law gave me his 1930 Deluxe Coupe. He has been teaching me how to start it, drive it, etc. for the past 28 years knowing that some day it would be mine....finally at 90 years young he decided to pass it on.

It starts every time and runs great...however I have a question on the GAV, he always told me to turn it counter clockwise to start and move it back clockwise as the engine warms up. I've been reading the forum and it appears the travel distance on my GAV is not consistent with what I'm reading.

At full clockwise the pointer is at about 9:00, at full counter clockwise it is at 6:00, so the total travel is only about a quarter turn, is this normal, it seems like in the posts I've read there apears to be more travel...could it be the type of carburetor my father-in-law has on the car.

I'm going to call him to ask but thought I would post the question here too.

Thanks for the help.
