Cleaning the Mumer.

After a car has been running for sew
eral months the muff1er collects deposit
of SCOT and carbon that sometimes par
TALLY stops the gas passages. To remove
this is somewhat of problem. The best
way to clean the muftier is probably to
disassemble it and scrape the plates clean
by hand or burn the deposit off in a
forge. If the incrustation Is not heavy it
may usually be removed by washing in
gasoline. The method often used for
cleaning out the muftier by exploding
charge of gas in It is probably the poor
est way of dealing with the matter, and
If great care is not exercised may result
in a shattered muffier at the first dis
charge.

Installing lf-Starters.

Unless acetylene engine-starting de-
vices are properly installed there is liza
bility not only Of developing engine diff
ficulties, but Of achieving poor success In
starting. The inlet for the gas to the
cylinders should be SO arranged that the
acetylene will not be blown directly
against the points of the spark plugs,
but rather SO that only the true COM
bustible mixture of gas will reach them
Otherwise sticky carbon deposits will be
formed that will quickly foul the points
and prevent proper sparkling.
For the lub, ication of worm gearing
the use Of graphite and graphite lubri-
cants Is particularly recommended. AS

prevent the harsh abrasion OF high

serve as preventive of cutting should
