Your trouble "a in the cHrhurctor.
We suggest your trying new huxili.

The proper method 90 align the

this measurement IL concerned, similar
measurements are made nt the rear

What valve timing should enc use on
o two cylinder opposed meter with .

stroke of four and one s.hsH inehes7
Since the valve timing which win
tive ideal results Tor any given motor
Ia n variable quantity aud depends
largely upon such details ~ manifold
dc,ign. the only thing which can bs
dvuc IN 10 give you Nh approximate
timing from which you can vary IN one
direction or the other until you attain
the best results.
~ the cams are already made und IN
the motor. you can only place them
90 that the valve openings will CORE.
.pOnd with these given aud allow the
closing 10 take care of Itself A fairly
average timing which should glvc rOod
results is ~ follows; Intake valve
opens ten degrees after upper dead cen
Ter. aud closes thirty Ave degrees past
lower dead center. The exhaust valve
opens forty degrees before lower dead
center aud closes i've degrees IiAst w

One of the electric headlights or my
car throws q smaller radius of light
than the other, the lamps being OF the

IL II probable that one of your lamps
IL out ~ focus. n you will examine
your lamp you will note that the bulb
can be moved forward and backward
in relation 10 the reflector, This All
iustmcnt should be- made until the ray
~ light thrown ont 10y the lamp Il
equal 10 the others. In order to urst
ascertain, however, that IL II the foul
adjustment which II incorrect II would
be good Idea 10 take the bulbs out ~
the lamps aud interchange them, Then
IL the same llght gives the greatest a.
Elimination aud the rcilcctors are both
clean II viii certainly be a matter OF
adjusting the focus,
What 10 meant BY spark advance and |
spark retardl Does advancing the
spark mean 20 increase It's Volumei
Advancing aud rctnrdiug does not |
affect the volume OF the spark, hut /
rather the time II takes place In the /
cylinder IN relation 10 the piston posi- |
ti0n. II the spark occurs when the l
piston Is past dead center it Is then
termed retarded. II before dead cen
ter then IL is advanced
when cmuhlug motor very slowly /
the spark must bee retarded; otherwise
an explosion may tuhc place Boo the evil .

the spark WHOM driving depends upon
the speed Of the motor lt the motor
is pulling hard md turning over slowly
then the spark cannot bee -u far ud-

then the FUN advance Is advisable.
have a 1910 car, which has magnetic
only for the ignition system, find IL
difficult TO start the motor. Last year
had no trouble. Will you please ex-
pain the cause OF this2
When starting an magnetic the spark
lever should be advanced. II this was
done aud your engiue does not start
easily then clean and readiust the
platinum points on the circuit breaker
Since you have a 1910 car uud have
