Tho leak wits so 'small, Inlmost microscopic In size, that It took from leu tn Iwclvo hours for tlio guugo prcsHiiro to leak out. A new pipe assembly at tho gas lank cured tho trouble A. car hud n sharp knock. The owner had been told that It was a wrist pin. After testing pins and rods thoy wore round to bo okoll. On going over tho motor with a stethfsropo it was found that tho klluck was in tho front end of motor; finally tracing It down to the timing gear case and generator. On loosening up tho generator tho knock stepped. Tho shop man found that setting generator up' too tightly, which was driven by tho fan belt, pulled tho crankshaft and timing gears out of line. A man went Into a Bhop with a new car and complained of a grat ing noise which wna especially noticeable at a speed of 2G or 80 m. p. It. ATter checking the .car all over, tho mechanic found thai It wiis caused by tho oil pump and tiio sound was carried through' the copper tubing to tho oil pressure guuge. Tho trouble was remedied by sawing the plpo In two and con necting .the cuds with a pleco of heavy rubber tubing. The car has rim 3000 miles without any further trouble of this kind. , A certain car would miss terribly above- .10 m. p. h.( but would run Atnootbty under 30. The symptom Indicated Ignition trouble, so the whole system was checked -carefully and found, okoh. After ex amining tho fuel system and valves It was decided to try a new coll but the miss was still there. 'X second check up rewarded tho mechanics by - finding a-.wir.j bridged ncross the resistance unit on tho bottom of the coll. Remov ing this cured tho trouble. ?. A popular six wns brought into a shop ono day with tho, owner THE, RIZTdS WEG.E.OU'f C)F'&.aum.. complaining of a miss on a hard pull. After checking the spark plugs; breaker: points, carburetor, and tlinlnp. and Installing a new coil the miss was still there. The shop man pulled tho wiro from the roll to the distributor head out of the motal tube it ran through and hooked it up direct and the miss was gone. A car -had a sort of "jolting knock at the rear end,, which sounded and fQlt not unlike a flat tire. The owner had adjusted brake bands, pedal, rods, etc., tested driving ge.ir and axles for excess piny In fact, he went over the whole car.. Find ing nothing am las he took It to a garago and was told that the spring shackles wore likely to blame. Thoy wero tlghtoncd, but the trouble was not cured. Ho tightened the rest of tho shnckles when ho got home. Kesults ditto. Anothorshop man found, that tho cross member of the frame tilted tho snubber, pre venting It from being held rigid and thus allowed It to bnnk against the tho frame and moving the snubber farther forward solved the knock difficulty. But the bumpy. Jerky feeling in that end of the car persisted. Surg ing the corner of the car up and down showed that it was much suf fer In Us action than tho opposite corner. The shon man .went 'over tho springs shackles - again and found that some of thtem had been made so tight he could hardly start the nut. ' Slacking them, however, made no improvement. Taking both snubbers apart and compar ing them proved that they were ad Justed exactly alike. Leaving less tension on tho snubber at the of fending corner was likewise with out results. Finally noticing that the strap of this snubber was glaze! and slightly gummy, tho mechanic gave it a thorough cleaning with kerosene. That did the trick. ': An owner claimed that his car did not have power on the hills. Timing, valve clearance and 'car buretor adjustment were chockea frame. . Drilling another holo In up and found to bo a,H right.

After this was done the fore man inspected the.car, hut ' the knock was the same as, before. Then he ordered- the valves ground and carbon cleaned, but the knock was still there. - Then the -foreman took the job in hand himself and adjusted the carburetor '-and checked the timing and found both keh.
