Default Re: Please help, any advice?

I work long hours during the week, I will change the carb this weekend and post an update. I did have time to put a multimeter on everything and it checks out. But remember I could not check things during the event, because I can't just catch it.

I thank you all for your input. I will keep you updated.

Don't over interpret your multimeter data. Proper voltages mean you have a fully charged battery, no broken connections or fuses, and no shorts--RIGHT THEN. However, if the problem is an intermittent contact, a good reading just means you don't have the problem right at the moment. If the problem is a poor, weak connection, you will still see the full, proper voltage under no-load test conditions.

Three weeks ago you were going to switch out the carbonator from your working Model A to this problem car. It would take less than 30 minutes to switch out the carbonator and distributor from your working Model A to this one. Why not do that and let us know what happens. Bill
