Expert Advises
Autoists TO Leave
Carburetor Alone
BY w. II. Stewart, Jr.

The carburetor under ordinary cir
cumstanccs should be left severely
alone. If it is tempered with by en- un-
skilled person the engine will lose
power, the gasolene bill will advance
rapidly and the cylinders will carbon
ize, giving long train of troubles. Do
not adjust 1t unless you thoroughly
understand its principle and mocha
nism. But while it is best TO leave 1t
alone, it is necessary for every driver
10 be able TO tell if he is getting a
right mixture. A few hints on testing
for this will lie of service to every one.
Many times the engine loses power
from any one of a dozen causes. The
inexperienced person usually turns his
attention 10 the carburetor and immedl-
ately trouble begins.
A simple test for correct carbure-
tion is to run the car for several blocks
.hrottled down. Then choose mo-
ment when there is clear road and
press quickly on the accelerator pedal.
This opens the throttle wide and the
engine should speed up. Note particu-
larry the way NJ responds. 1t should
pick up smoothly and quickly 20 full
speed without. jerkiness. II the mkt
Ure is wrong the engine will be slug
gish, or perhaps miss explosions, which
will be shown by jerky action. Back
firing ~ the CarburetOr after the motor
is well heated is caused by lean MKT
urC. Mufiicr explosions are caused
when the gas is nOt fred in some cyl
inder but passes out into the exhaust
system. Here it is ignited by the burn
ing gas from the next cylinder, giving
an explosion in the muller. This mis-
firing should not be confused with car
Luretor backfring.
az the engine does not respond
quickly a little investigation is best
before any changes are made. II there
is a dash adjustment or one on the
steering column, move this and note
the result II no improvement is
shown the adjustment should be re
placed exactly as IL was before. This
Is a cardinal rule that should never be
tisrcgarded When changing an adj
justmcnt, if 10 Improvement is shown,
always replace it just as you found lt.
ID the dash adjustment does not help
or there is no such device, run engine
and press air valve open gently. If
engine speeds up rich mixture is shown.
III engine loses speed or stops lean
mixture is indicated. Popping back in
the carburetor Is another indication OF
lean mixture. A very rich miXture will
be shown by pungent odor Of exhaust
gas or black smoke. DO not confuse
this with the bluish-whitc smoke from
too much OIL.
Another good test FOR incorrect
mixture is to observe fame at com
preston cocks. Correct mixture shows
q reddish-bluc fame; rich mixture.
more red, sometimes yellow. Lean
mixture gives "A light blue fame which
is invisible In strong light. These col
ors can best be noted al night. The
experienced carburctor adjuster does
not use them, but they may be of help
TO the man who is trying to locate the
cause of weak power in his engine
Having determined that the mixture
is at fault, have it set right by an eX-
perienced adjuster. Do not attempt the
work yourself unless you understand 1t
thoroughly.

He hurried down the hill and found
that the soldier was driving Nash
six-ton truck. He obtained one from
the factory and began work on his new
home. The trunk Of redwood tree
was not for playhouse, as was the
hollow tree of lis boyhood days, but
was to serve him as real house. Out
of a solid block of redwood, $50 feet
long and Ii feet thick, he carved 1t,
Chiselling il out bit by bit, and cutting
in the windows and doors. When 1t
was finished it weighed three tons, and
he mounted il on Nash Quad. IL had
taken months Of hard work, but the
result is q marvel. The whole trunk
is one solid block of polished redwood
of exquisite grain. 1t is nineteen feet
long and contains three rooms, each
six feet square-a living room, a bed
room and The chauffeur's room.
They are not ordinary rooms, but are
furnished In a luxurious manner
throughout. A fireplace is built on one
side of the living ROOM the beds are
wonderful creations, with soft mat
tresses that fold down at night; the
toilet appurtenances are exquisite, and
the whole car is lighted with electric
light.

He has already driven with his Quad
over the rough passes and hills of Cali
fornia down into Los Angeles, which
is 100 miles from his home, without
any difficulty. His car was shipped
from there 70 New York, and he is now
ready to begin his journey home in his
redwood trunk. He will park his car
in each city that he visits until he
reaches the tall trees again.
