Hello,Got my model A running on a test stand but have a strange behavior.I have a weber auto carb on it and two mags run to a normal AC switch on the controlpanel.It starts and runs beautifully, but then it'll just up and quit. Doesn't matterwhat the throttle setting is, or how long it's run. The most it ran was fourminutes or so, but the more I ran it, the shorter the durations seems to bebetween quits.When it quits it just quits, sounds like someone cut the switch, no sputtering,then it'll start up again nicely so I think the ignition is fine.I'm going to try spraying some fuel in the carb as it quits which will tell meif it is the carb, but does anyone have any thoughts?________________________________________________________________________________ ETAtAhQK0iXGnbOThdWGSqOPQJArlFpQ/QIVALv9BpCQz3VOlsN92G8yNmhiMgAE
