Times-My engine has developed a
tendency to pop back at the carbure-
tor recently. 1t only occurs when
engine has first started. 1t pops
back repeatedly until we have run a
few miles, when the noise stops and
engine develops full power. The
carburetOr adjustments have not
been changed. but I find 1 can re-
duce the trouble if 1 keep the prim-
ing device on dash slightly pulled
out. Any suggestions from you Will
be appreciated. c. T. &.
The popping back suggests a
leaky valve or a lean mixture. prob
ably due TO leak in inlet manifold
Partly closing choke valve by prim-
ing device on dash offsets this by
giving a richer mixture. When en-
CINE heats up the leak is closed and
the trouble is ended. Inject oil
around joints Of inlet manifold while
engine is running and see if it is
sucked in. Tighten bolts at that
point or replace the gasket.

run backwards if I advance the

Why should moving the spark lever
