Kindly advise me Is II proper to run
Ford car down hill with tho clutch
in high speed, with the engine run
ming and throttle retarded? A friend
OF mine tells mo the clutch should be
In neutral and the foot brake should
be used. Please let me know which
Is correct w. d. BURT.
The car might be operated while
descending a grade in several ways
The machine might be allowed TO
coast, having the clutch in neutral
and using either the hand or foot
brake.
The clutch might be left in and the
switch turned of, thus using the
motor as brake: or It might be
operated as You suggest. Tho opera
tlon depends upon the running condi-
tions.

Der OF times. but with no favorable
result. Can you suggest anything?
FRANK BYRNE.
Would suggest that the timing Of
tho motor be- gone over thoroughly.
IL the valves or Ignition are not set
properly tho motor will be lacking
in power. II the car drags and does
not coast properly the motor will not
pull efficiently.
Automobile Editor,
Five weeks ago I had new bands
put in my Ford car, and had my diff
ferenttal fixed, as II was noisy. Since
then there has been grind In the
transmission. When | put my foot
on the brake the grind Is very dis
tinct, also the car moves forward
every morning. | called the Ford
Company's attention to the grind
when l took the car out, and they
told me II was the high ends OF the
bands. cleaned out all the old oil
from the transmission and still II
grinds. use n light oil Mobile OLD

tho TeaI axle assembly is out OF line;
also when can tell? The car Is
two months old, PETER BLAKE.
Your trouble Is no doubt due to a
dragging band. II the bands drag on
the drums, the internal gears are un-
der working strain and will cause
an unnecessary noise. Would advice
the use OF a good gear oil In the
) drums. Grease oil will cause a dras
II too heavy. II the bands are per
tectly adjusted. the noise will nc
doubt stop.

How will defective mixture caus

A mixture that contains too much

and will have more heating value
without producing correspondingly
more power than one OF proper pro.
