Treating Caune of Trouble.
When an cnglno runs nttcr the
switch Is turned oft or knocks In tho
cylinder whllo running, It Is u pretty
sure sign of carbon. The spark lever
too far advanced will also causo
knocks In the cylinder.
Tho only satisfactory way of remov
ing carbon Is to take tho engine apart
and scrnpo tho cylinders with tho
Btccl carbon remover, which can bo
bought for tho purpose.
This will tnko somo time, but It
dono carefully nnd methodically will
npt bo very difficult. Put everything
nsldo In Just such order that you can
get It back In just tho way It was be
fore. Poor oil or too much oil Is tho
causo of carbon, and while It Is neces
sary for tho cylinders to havo plenty
ot oil, too much Is just as bad as not
enough. Only tho best grndo ot oil
should bo used. It pays In tho end.
Grinding Valves.
Valves generally hnvo to bo ground
every 30 or 40 days If tho car is used
steadily. On somo cars tho cnglno
has to bo taken apart to do this; on
others thcro nro plugs directly over
tho valvo heads, which may bo re
moved to got at them, Tho edgo ot
the valvo head should bo coated with
valvo grinding paste, which can bo
bought In tubes, and turned back nnd
forth with a short motion till tho
edgo ot tho part nnd tho valvo show
bright all tho way around. Whllo
doing this, repeatedly Bhtft tho valvo
around so as to grind evenly. .Ho
careful not to get any ot tho pasto
In tho cylinders, as It will Injure
them. Valves seldom get out of tlmo,
but It they do, they had best be ad
justed by an export. It Is too particu
lar n job for ono who Is not used to
to tho work.
Most Ignition troubles nro confined
to dirty or Improperly spaced spark
plugs. Kxcesslvo oil or too rich n
mlxturo aumofl fouling ot the plugs
nnd should bo remedied. Engines
with magnetos havo less troublo than
thoso depending on batteries. Ilat
terloti should not ho allowed to fall
holow 20 amperes, nil wiring kept
from getting oil soaked, or chnfed, as
this will soon cut through tho insula
tion and causo n hhort circuit, as will
niso on ir it penetrates the Isulatlon.
The spaco between tho points of tho
spark plugs should be between one
HlMoonth and ono-thlrty-second of an
Inch, so ns to give a thick spark
An Ow'iliruK'd i:n(luf.
This may bo caused by dilMng too
long on low, too late n spark, or too
rich n mixture. A clogged circulation
ma) also ho tho trouble. Loss of
power may bo due to n slipping dutch
If n leather-faced clutch, and may bo
oil soaked or may need a new Icathf r.
Disc clutches havo to be kept oiled,
AH hubs, differential and gear cusq
must bo well packed with hard oil. A
mlxturo of half cylinder oil nmi hnir
hard oil is good for tho gear case.
