Out of sixteen reasons for motor heating, pi rhaps one of the most obscure and bust thought, of is the small pin that holds the pad dle wheel on the water pump to the shaft. This is i frequent rea son for engine overheating, and be cause of Its very obscurene.is, is one of the rea.sotis for this series of articles. H fl ai everyone Knows, tne water pump is attached to the water pump shaft. Wiihn this pump is a paddle wheel that (insists in cir culating; the water from the ra- liutor entirely t h rough the water passage system. A small steel pin holds this paddle wheel rast to the pump, ami many times, aftr some months of usage, this pin becomes worn or rusted, and shears off as smoothly as if cut by a knife. The pump at once becomes inoperative, Ihe water does not circulate and the terrific heat of the engine soon bolls away the water that remains in t he radial or. Here again the heat indicator on your cur immedi ately tells the story, us the vapor temperature of the boiling water in the radiator will warn the motor ist, through this instrument, t hat he must investigate at once, or suffer l he penalty, a large garage bill. l.ON'liON (-M1).
