Default Re: Spark advance lever & backfire

Mine was backfiring through the muffler once in a while on deceleration. Not sure the mechanics of the theory that an exhaust leak causes that, but I just turned the GAV a little richer and it stopped immediatly. Mine does not have an exhaust leak. I agree that having to adjust the spark control, and GAV sometimes to get the best runnning is part of what makes a Model A fun to drive.
