    Fuel flow rate for a 1928 Model A.

    in Technical

    Posted

    Thanks. I disconnected the line at the carb and put a rubber hose on it into a can.

    Hopefully by tomorrow (drip, drip)it will have drained the gas out so I can clean the tank screen.

    I am pretty sure this is what it is be cause a while ago it leaned out at about a 1/4 tank then was fine when I fill it up. and now it leaned at 1/2 tank.

    I drove my 28 Model A to work this morning and on the High way it started leaning out and back firing.

    It was cold so I just pulled the choke a little and made it to town no problems.

    At lunch it ran fine till I was on a road with a 2 mile stretch of 45 mph It leaned down a basically ran out of gas. I coasted in a parking lot and after it sat it started right up. I drove to my first stop without any more problems. Right before I got to my second stop it leaned out again and a coasted in the parking lot.

    After shopping it started right up and I drove to the highway and it ran out of gas again.

    I let it sit, it started up and but I only made it ½ mile and it sputtered again.

    First I check gas ½ tank. Then I pulled to plug out of the bottom of the carb and gas just dribbled out.

    So I pulled the line for the carb and gas just dribbled out.

    I removed the gas cap to check for a plugged vent, no differences.

    I removed the glass sediment bowl and gas just dribbled out.

    I put it back together and drove it home letting it set, driving about a ½ mile costing to a stop ,starting it up and driving and other ½ mile all the way home.

    Before I tear in to the gas tank I wanted to know what kind of a flow rate should be flowing at the sediment bowl.

    Should it have a good flow or just a trickle.

    If it should be just a trickle I need to look elsewhere for my problem.

    Thanks

    Dirty Gravel or Clean Gravel for a Driveway/Parking Area?

    I our area dirty crushed stone just means the stone is not washed after crushing so it contains stone dust, when used with a good base it will pack down like concrete, without any dust problem. It will work well for a parking area as long as the base is good do not put it over a soft area as it will disappear. We do not have crushed gavel in our area, only crushed stone, gavel is sorted and sold in the size it is mined.
