Confidence Milestone
Ever since I have gotten the rear of my 29 tudor back together I have been slowly increasing the length of my test drives. With the installation of a Marvel Carb and new manifolds it has been running really well.
I had to run to the market this morning. So I though - what the hell use the tudor (picture 1). You might think I would be worried about getting a scratch. Not where I park (picture 2)! All went well except for one operator error that revealed itself before I left the parking lot. -master switch on -spark lever up -throttle cracked - GAV 1/2 turn open - ignition switch on - start with just a touch of choke OK what did I forget? |

Re: Confidence Milestone
Many times... I have a shut-off under the tank and one at the carburetor. I still forget at least one of them...

Re: Confidence Milestone
Whatever car I happen to be in, modern or Model A, it's the closest spot I can find. If I have to use the "Blue" card hanging from the mirror, so be it.
If I parked that far from the store, I'd have to call a cab to get me to the front door.

Re: Confidence Milestone
Yep I forgot to turn the gas on. At least now I know how long the A will run on just the gas in the bowl of a marvel carb!
