Of the gasolenc. In some cases the con-
troll affords more gasolene at the tims
of starting. Usually, however. this con-
troll simply serves to choke the air sup
ply, thereby concentrating greater sue
ton OF air at the spray nozzle and en-
fiching the mixture. As soon as the
motor takes up the cycle and becomes
heated the adjustment IL returned to its
normal position. Conditions Of weather
may also make necessary a slight
change In %carburetor adjustment. When
the driver becomes familiar with his
motor he can best determine the position
Of the lever which will afford the best
results.
The above drawing shows the gasolene
tank In the cowl. This tank IL filled by
removing filler cap and gasolene flows

the tank in this position there Is no dan
ger of the Carburetor not receiving a
sufficient supply of gasolene on very
steep grades. In this system q gasolene
gauge is usually installed In plain view
of the driver. This determines the
amount OF gesolenc remaining in the
tank.
