You state that there b a knock In
the gears when the motor Is running
Idle. but you do not say whether y0u
mean the timing Zears or the gears n
the gear box II II Is the timing gears
that are making the noise the trouble

viii you please tell me whether in

sst,sr?
Splicing the wires has the advantage
Of making a Joint that u compact
Such joint takes up very little more
space than the wire itseIf. and spliced
joint In also very easy To insuIate. AZ II

This joint makes gDod electrical con

the loop type. The main advantage Of
the loop joint Is that It II not 10 easily

However. no more current IL required

mattsr7
You have named practically all the
conditions that might cause Overheat-
ing. yet since the trouble Is still there
II would seem that the senrch has not
been thorough enough. Overheafing
may be due To defect In the cooling
system. rich mixture. retarded spark.
Improper fabrication or incorrect valve
timing aud possibly slipping clutch
or excessive friction In the chassis.
Under the FIRST head there are several
places where there might be difficulty.
First determine that the water In cir
cuiating properly by emptying enough
water out Of the system to uncover
the return connection TO the top Of the
radiator Then with the motor run.
ming note whether the water flows
freely. II It does not. oil the radiator
full Of water and run the motor until
the water boils. Then feel the various
parts Of the cooling system. noting the
reiative temperatures. For instance. n
there In an obstruction In the return
water header. such A. q piece Of loose
rubber. the water on one side Of the
obstruction win be hot and on the
other cool. Similarly. II the pump Ia
not operating. due to n broken vane or
sheared pin that holds the vane to
the shaft. then the return header will
be very hot, while the lower part OF
the radiator and the connection from
thence to the pump will be cool. n
the radiator n clogged up. the top
should be very hot and the bottom
cooler than usually. It may he that
the fan belt II too loose.
