Winter Care OF Gasoline Engine.
The inexperienced operator meets
with many difficulties in handling gas
oline engines during severe winter
weather. The first essential OF the
gasoline equipment. year in and year
out is a good. strong. concrete founda-
ton. Where use OF concrete is I'M
possible. the engine should be Sc
curely bolted to heavy timbers fas-
tened 10 the floor They should be Of
sufficient size to absorb all violent VI
bration. A secure foundation In
creases the floor bearing OF the en-
CINE and secures greater rigidity
The engine should never be run
faster than its specified speed. as 9TH
erwise the operator Is merely wasting
the power OF the machine without OBJ
tanning the most efficient results. Care
should also be exercised in betting the
engine to a piece OF machinery to use
the correct size pulleys. SO other
wise energy which the engine gene
rates will be wasted
In starting a new engine the valves
are sometimes gummed to such An ex-
tent that they viii not entirely close.
This reduces the amount OF the com
preston Of the engine. In other In
stances the valves stick so that the
compression Is wholly lost The rem
edy is to squirt a little gasoline or
kerosene on the valve stems and clean
of the sticky oil Compression is
also lost due to a lack OF ubricatlng
oil on The piston and cylinder walls.
To correct this difficulty the operator
should turn the fywheel over until the
piston Is drawn out OF the cylinder and
then cover the projecting portion with
a liberal coating Of lubricating oil The
oil will act as a seal
In general he operator should use
Judgment and common sense as re-
CARDS the amount OF work an engine
should do One cannot abuse a gas
engine without disastrous results. Good

engine. and care should lie observed 10

result in cracking the cylinder The
increased warmth OF the cylinder will
result In quick ignition OF the

Another simple plan used in care OF
either air or water-coo'ed engines is TO

then inject a snail amount Of gasoline
