Locating a Squeak In the Motor;
How To Make and Avoid Repairs

causing the valves to hold open. In
the future please state make Of ma
chine, 50 that suggestions can be made
with more intelligence.
Base explosions IN two cycle engines
are caused by a scarcity Of gasoline.
Where automatic carburetOrs are used,
first adjust gasoline with the throttle
slightly open and then adjust the air
with the throttle for high speed
Kerosene should be put in the cyl
inders for the removal of carbon about
once each y. eek or approximately for
each 200 miles running. The kerO-
sene is put in the cylinders at night,
the motor turned over a few times in
order 10 spread the oil over the Sur
faces, and left over night. The motor
should be run in the morning to burn
out the excess Of kerosene. The eX-
hausU viii be very smoky until the
kerosene has been consumed. The
crank case should be drained at each
decentralization
Motors certainly do seem to run bet
ter at night. There are of course. pos
sibilitieS for explaining the phenom-
enOn, If it is real one. During the
warm weather the air is commonly at
a lower temperature at night than dur
ing the day. and consequently a greater
weight of air will be taken into the
the same amount Of gasoline as in the
day time the result theoretically is a
more powerful mixture. Whether this
advantage is sufficient to really count
is a point on which engineers differ
IN farmer there should be a distinct
gain from the use of the cooler night
air During winter the lower tempera-
ture at night would be somewhat of
4 disadvantage. for in that case the
amount of gasoline that should be
taken in would be open to question.
So long as your engine starts easily,
acCelerates quickly. and attains a high
speed, there cannot be anything wrong
with the magnetic or batteries; but it
would be advisable to remove the con-
tact breaker cover and wipe Oft all sur
plus oil and dirt with a rag or tooth
brush, soaked in gasoline. If the con-
tact points are quite black and pitted.

Good roads everywhere is what the

"A motor-driven vehicle nowadays

so it is that in the development of
country life the autOist requires much
