: I've been working our family's 1929 Model A Roadster Pickup and I've run into two perplexing problems.
: 1) The carburator leaks like crazy... mostly from the
: bottom around the mounting bolt, but also around the main seal. I've replace whatever gaskets and washers that were there when I took it apart... and its better... but still far
: too much leaking to be normal.
: 2) its running great... but whenever I cut the ignition it backfires... but not right away... it takes a few seconds... and then BOOM... or is that BANG? Could this be the result of
: advancing the timing lever too much? Or what else?
: Thank you!
: Eric
