: My friend has a 1930 Model A that "bucks" excessively
: when decelerating.At 15 down to 10 mph this "bucking"
: is especially troublesome.When you acelerate at these
: speeds there is no problem.It just smoothes out and
: picks up speed with no bucking.
: This is a real problem when driving slowly in parades.
: The timing appears to be correct.Anybody have any
: suggestions on correcting this problem?

Interesting problem Ed... I'm experiencing the same problem with the 'A' I'm presently driving. It bucks only in 1st gear going very slow. I shift into 2nd as quickly as possible and the bucking is gone at that same slow speed. This all started after installing a new rebuilt engine with
clutch and pressure plate. It'll be interesting to hear from others on this problem...hopefully both our problems will be solved.
