of air gasoline will leave carbon de-
osits.
H. Kerosene or coal oil" will leave
more carbon than gasoline.
c. Luoricating oils and greases will
also leave carbon, but it differs from
the carbon of gasoline and Kerosene in
that the former is dry while the latter
contains trace of the oil base, and if
from a poor grade of oil, other imnuri-
ties also. Oil carbon is gummy.
ID. There is no advantage in using a
mixture of gasoline and kerosene. The
increased carbon deposits overbalhnce
the saving in fuel cost.
E. There are several makes of carbon
removers which may be purchased at
most any auto supply store, o. you may
have the carbon burned out by the oxy-
gen process at almost any garage. Wa
ter, injected through the air inlet in
small quantities when the engine is hot,
will do a great deal toward removing
carbon.
Motoring Department: have 1918
model So Overland touring car, and
would like TO know how to take the
differential apart. The crown gear is
Clipped and | would like to replace 1T
with a new one. Any information YOU
may give will be appreciated by f. V.
Take off the rear wheels and axle
housing cover. Loosen the two large
nuts, one on each side of the differen-
tial on the axle shafts. Pull the axle
shafts out and then by unserewing the
four bolts that hold the caps on the
differential housing, the difierential
may be lifted out.
Motoring Department: Do you thihlx
il advisable to install system for
hand control for extra air supply IL
so how do you derive the proper size II
opening to cut in intake manifold. Is
the ration calculated or is it a method
of trial?
Would the use of soft copper chain
carbon removers cause trouble in my
cylinders due to the small distance be-
tween the top of piston and plug that
carries stud bolt, which holds down
water manifold o top of cylinders? If
the chain should bunch up 1t appears
to me it would jam between piston and
stud bolt plug in top of cylinder f. IL.
Would not advise cutting holes in an
intake manifold. There are three gas
oline feed regulations and one air reg
ulator on the carburetor. Reduce thu
tension on the auxiliary air valve and
cut down the gasoline feed as much 1s
possible. This will give the same re
suit. 1t is not safe to use chains fot
carbon removing. Would advise hay-
ing carbon burned out by the oxygen
process. Water injected through the
auxiliary air valve in small quantities
while the engine is running and hot,
makes a good carbon elimmator
Motoring Department: My motor,
equipped with Remy magnetic stops
when spark is fully retarded when run
ming on the magnetic but runs all right
when on battery. Please explain prob
able cause. #. w.
Examine the primary cables where
attached to magnetic and for a short
distance back from the magnetic It
is probable that a short" occurs when
the spark is in he retarded position.
Then, again, the magnetic may be weak
With spark retarded the armature is
away from pole pieces, and if magnets
are weak poor spark will result.
Closing the gap a little al the spark
plugs may help some.
Motoring Department: According .
a certain formula, l find that a three
cylinder, two-cycle engine, four by five
