I think that your carburetor may have an accelerator pump at the bottom of the float bowl. It is worth checking that pump (a small piston connected to the throttle linkage) is working well and jetting fuel into the choke tube when you press the throttle. Also, make sure that the fuel tank, and the f...

What works for the Model A will work for the Packard too. A good idea to change the oil and check the coolant though. Does it still have the autovac to pull the petrol through? If so, that will need a careful clean and service. But you can run the engine just by filling the autovac with petrol and t...

From what you describe, I would be suspicious of the coil causing it to cut out and fail to restart. Once it has cut out, will the engine crank? or does it show the...
