    My Flathead Motor runs great until the motor gets hot. Then it starts acting like it isnt getting enough fuel. When I rev it up it starts to backfire. Is there anyone out there who knows what I can do to fix this?:confused:

    Thank you for reply. New to this and not real good with the computer stuff. I really thought that i had posted. Did the intro also but who knows can you give some advice on how to get started. The instructions are a bit confusing C.B.

    Welcome to the H.A.M.B. from nor-cal. Sounds like your flattie has an ignition problem. Inspect and set the points and time it. Coils and condensers can die when they get hot. Change out one at a time, you will find it. Happy motoring!
