: I have a 1928 Tudor Sedan that idles and runs just fine but
: after going around the block and its warms up it starts running 'rough', bucking and jumping around. It still idles
: fine but when you put it under a load is when the rough, bucking and overall bad performance occurs.... HELP,, any ideas??? is it the coil, timing or carburation????
dave--the items kevin and geo mentioned are the most likely possibilities---but i remember vividly one very frustrated model a owner back in the mid 60's who had this problem--and went through the fuel system and distributor to no avail--turned out the fault was a sneaky intermittent open in the coil--but only once warmed--and under load. i think myself a fuel blockage or a bad condenser is a lot more likely, tho.
hope this helps
