around Il arinas, and the rest of the
way Il runs smoothly. Can you ee-
plafn this troubie3
Is good plan to look for the SIM
plest troubles first II tie sound Is a.
faspiug or scrapinG one It is probably
due 20 dragging brake bands, or the
drums may be out of true. If the
brake bands are dragging loosen them
up slightly. Unless the drums are not
badly out OF round 1t Will be sufficient
t61oosen up the bands, but IL this will
not answer the drums should be trued
up in lathe or else replaced. The
grinding noise may be due to shaft
that IS bent, and 1t is more probable
that an axle shaft instead of a trans
mission shaft would give trouble in
this way. The bending of a shaft VIII
cause any gear on it to. alternately
mesh too loosely and too tightly with
its mating gear. This will canse a
grinding sound. Whether this is the
trouble can only be determined by in
spectton. The STRENGTHENING OF the
smart should be left to some man who
has had experience, and probably you
could not do it anyway because of lack
Of equipment
Another possibility is that one OF the
roller bearings is causing the trouble.
One Of the rollers may be broken. al
though this is not very likely, or the
roller race may be worn out Of round.
would like to replace my FIVE pas
senser; body with q seven. VIII the ex-
ira overhans on the rear axle hurt the
motor3 Hn
The extra load viii not harm the
motor if it is not allowed to labor on
high gear. When It is evident that the
car cannot climb a certain hill on high
gear, rather than force It up, shift
to sacopd should be made. The same
applies when running on second gear
and low gear is required. There is
more danger of hurting the springs or
wearing out the tires. Possibly it
will be necessary to substitute sitter
springs. Unless the tires are amply
large for the weight they IRE now car
rying, oversizes should be put on. at
least on the rear. where the greater
load Is.
Can you tell mo of a solution to clean
out radiator which expeis water that
e very dark brown in color when
onptYins the radiator?
Dark brown water In rndiator Is
due to the suspension in the water of
particles of dirt or rust There is no
necessity of applying solution to he
radiator that will dissolve these tr-
ticIes because they can be very ~ ~
removed by flushing the radiator with
large quantities of water.
L have four dry cells located in the
xooi box of my machine which are
used for starting the motor. They will
last only about three weeks, whereas
ono set should last the whole season.
There 10 no short circuit, and the con-
neefiens seem-to be all right. Can you
tell me the trouble2
One possible cause is that the cells
You are using are detective, or it may
be that the coil is out of adjustment
You do not state the type OF coil that
Won have, but If 1t is that vibrator de
sfSnSit is quite possible that your high
battery consumption is due to the trem
blers being out of adjustment If you
have this type of coil try cleaning the
contact points of the tremblers, and
then adjust each trembler until 1t is
working well and produces good
spark at the plug.
The most likely cause OF your diff
Guilty is that you are using too few dry
cells. It would be much better to con-
meet up FIVE or six In series, as the volt
age generated by four is not enough to
do the work.
The slips covering the cushions and
4op of my car, which 10 almost a naw
one, have become black and have
grease spots on them. Can you tell me
what will clean and remove the spots?
Chloroform will be found quite satis-
factory for taking the grease spots out
of your cushions and top, although it
viii not clean out any dust or dirt
that has settled on them. In cleaning
the cushions and top 1t is well to first
brush the dust out thoroughly. then re-
move grease by the use of chloroform
and finally wash thoroughly with cas-
tile soap and lulSewarmj water Case
line has often been suggested as a good
cleaning fluid for such purposes. but
gasoline is solvent for rubber. and
the material that tops and cushions
are made of often contains rubber
that is injured by the use of
gasoline
Whist are the objections TO two
cycle motor?
The objections to the two cycle mo-
tor are that it is difficult TO throttle
down, it is .uneconomicaI and is not as
adaptable to high speeds as the four
cycle.
VIII one new patent piston ring In
each cylinder give good results with
che old rings OF, the ordinary type7 u
no, what groove should put them in7
One new patent ring will improve
the running OF your motor. but natur-
ally three such rings VIII be more eff
fective. If you use only one ring it
ehould be put into the top groove.
