"The people of Port Townsend do

time has been used rather for teaching

caus. Of Back Firing.

When a gas engine back fires it IS
because some of the charge il still
burning in the combustion chamber
when the intake valve opens. A slow
burning mixture is thus usually re-
sponsible for back fire. Generally this
il due to the weakness Of the mixture,
vince the weaker 1t Is the slower 1t
burns. The amount of hack firing
which takes place is also Influenced to
some extent by the speed Of the mo-
tor. When an engine runs at high
speed there will be a much shorter pc
Rod between the sparks than when it
is running at a SLOW speed.
