Proper way to down shift when stopping

Been out cruising with my T. Seems to be running pretty good on battery, still backfires on magneto. My question is, when slowing down to stop, should I pull the brake handle back to neutral every time or depress the pedal to neutral position and apply the brakes.

IMO, it depends on how long you plan to remain stopped. If I’m just stopping for a short time at a sign or a light, I just depress the low pedal and hold it in neutral. If I plan to let the car sit for an extended period, I still press and hold the low pedal, stop the car, then pull the brake handle back to engage the parking brake. I’m then able to remove my foot pressure from the low pedal and the car will remain stopped. :slight_smile:
