I have a 1929 CCPU Model A and it runs fine when cold, and even when its warmed up before stopping. However, when it is warmed up and I come to a stop or turn off the engine and start it back up, it loses all power (almost feels like it is running out of gas ... no backfiring though). I talked with another member in the local Model A club, and they said they had similar issues and it was the coil (when stopped the heat of the engine compartment would heat up the coil and cause issues). So, I swapped out the coil with the one from my 1930 coupe but it didn't resolve the issue. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with their A's losing power when warmed up after coming to a stop? Any insights would be greatly appreciate.
