hauling and I am at a loss to know how to properly time the valves, etc. Will you kindly let me know how to time the opening and closing of the valves by myself by the position of the pistons? Does the fact that a car starts on compression necessarily mean that the carburetor is best ad- tusted both for power to the motor and economy in gasoline ?-H. A. H. A. Different types and makes of motors are timed differently. That is to say, the valves have more or less lead according to the design of the motor. The valves of the average four-cycle type motor are timed ap- proximately as follows:
 Exhaust valves open about 40 de- grees before bottom center and close about 10 degrees past top center. The inlet valve opens about 10 degrees past top center and closes about 30 degrees past bottom center. If you begin with cylinder No. you should first get the piston of this cylinder at dead top center. Usually the flywheel is marked in such a manner as to de- termine the dead center points; also the opening and closing of the valves If the flywheel is not marked you should lay off the f1ywheel in man. ner that will help you to determine the 10 degree and 30 degree and 40 degree points.
 When this is done and the fywheel is moved to these respective points according to the valves, you are tim ing you may easily turn the cam shaft to the point where the cam begins to, act on the valve. In order to obtain an accurate valve timing, would suggest that you write the manufac- .turer of the motor you are using in order to ascertain the exact lead to the valves. While the above timing ap- plies to the average type motor, it is not exact, and may not afford you the .maximu um efficiency of which your. motor is capable. .
 Starting on compression does not necessarily indicate good carburetor adjustment. Most any kind of a gas oline mixture will fire when under compression Starting on compress sion better indicates, the fair condi- ton of the motor. That is to say. the piston rings, valves, etc, are all tight, and hold the compressed charge Tor considerable length of time.
