The chassis are fitted with two

Little Known Reason for
Motor Overheating Ex

pert and Means of Pre

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.
