some engines will not run with all
valves open. A reddish blue flame
shows correct mixture. A very light

Would you kindly explain how the
timer works in a motor when it is
| advanced or retarded. | understand
the difference it makes when engine
abors up hill or in hard pulling
but do not understand how the tim
ing is changed when spark is ad-
Vanced, or retarded, because when
spark rod is moved the timer is
moved either to the right or left.
Your columns, besides being very in,
instructive, are very interesting. ]
thank you in anticipation of receiv-
ing an early reply.
| J. d.
The first purpose of the timer is to
cause spark to occur just as the
piston passes over dead center. be-
ginning the power stroke. When the
explosion occurs it forces the piston
down rapidly. The next power stroke
gets the spark at the same time, but
the piston is going so fast that il
does not get the explosion pressure
| until too far down. We advance the
spark so that it will come near dead
center, or even before it. The ex-
plosion pressure is advanced at the
same time and presses on the piston
near the top of the stroke, giving i,
more power. IL we run a car up a
NIL the motor is slowed down by the
extra work, and we must retard the
spark. Otherwise we get the ex.
piosion pressure on the piston coming
ip which makes knocking sound, on
may even stop the motor.

The company selling one of these
