I couldn't agree more with these two gentleman. My model A was running very rich. I kept adjusting the float until I could barely get any gas flow, yet the exhaust still smelled rich. I replaced the jet cap with the smallest I could find. Still ran rich. I checked the timing a few times, each time confirmed it was correct. Finally, when I was checking the timing once, when I rotated the cam nut to open the points, I did not get a spark. I tried again and got a spark. I did this about 20 times, and got a spark probably 80% of the time, but not every time. I checked and found some carbon build up on the points. Filed them down a bit, checked the gap, and presto. Runs perfectly. So as you say, my "carburetor problem" was electrical. |
