On going over tho motor with a

motor; finally tracing It down to
the timing gear case and generator.
On loosening up tho generator tho

found that setting generator up' too
tightly, which was driven by tho
fan belt, pulled tho crankshaft and
timing gears out of line.

It wiis caused by tho oil pump and

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.

whole system was checked -carefully
and found, okoh. After ex

It was decided to try a new coll

second check up rewarded tho
mechanics by - finding a-.wir.j

complaining of a miss on a hard

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. ':
