an engine with bore between threa

the high-speed auto engines are within
this limit they usually are economical
of gas.
Neither the speed nor comnression
will AFFECT the carbonizinR. as This Is
due to an over-rich mixture. too much
or poor grade oil. etc. While a ereay.

have been using same for lighting pur \

in good condition, would there be any I
way that could use the 6-yolt battery 4
without injury to same? The battery |
would only be used for lighting pur- I

BY the use Of a resistance. a cutout. l
to automatically disconnect the battery |
and generator when. the engine has I
sibly a voltage. regulator, YOU can use l
the generator to charge tbs 6-volt bat l

the question up with the manufactur |
ers of the generator get the above ]
units from them, and as them FOR a I
wiring diagram to show how to con I
meet them. The above mentioned units
should not be expensive.
