The poor performances of motor
may be caused by a clogged muller
and By increasing the back pressure
the power OF the engine is inevitably
lessened The muller certainly ought
to be cleaned out once year, and this
is the time to do IT, The muller Is
filed with metal convolutions, which
gather dirt and carbon, blocking the
passage and hindering the escape OF
the exhaust gases. If the stoppaee
reaches a sufficient degree of com
pleteness there is danger that an Ill
timed explosion may extend back to
the muller, which acts like a closed
explosion chamber and blows 1t to

assisted by the use of too much oil in
the engine. This excess OF oil finds
its way back and, getting on the pas
