Needs Careful Study to Be
Used to Best Advantage
of the Motorist

The actual number Of motorists who
understand thoroughly the operation
Of the spark plug lever to the best ad,
vantage Is small. This phase Of motor
car operation Is the most difficult Tor
the neophite motnrist to master, Is
the opinion Of Frank Coombs The
reason for IT, Is that most beginners
do not study the matter carefully
They bring little common sense to
bear on II.
Once mastered, the spark control
lever is one Of the most useful and
flexible operating parts on the car. Z
says Coombs. To begin with, the
spark Ievor should never be IN the
position known as dead center for
starting When the spark Is so timed,
there is always danger OF q back kick,
with g broken arm and other nm
pleasant possibilities. -
The dead center position Is easily
determined on cars with battery igni-
ton. In this case. simply remove one
plug and lay. It on any metal part Of
the car, without removing the wire.
Turn on the current and the crank
until the piston reaches its highest
position IN the cylinder. Next, mani
pulate the spark lever until the sparks
occur at the plug, when the position
OF the lever IN the quadrant should
be marked with file. Now, whenever
you start. always see that the spark
lever IS retarded past that point.
When the magneto alone ii en-
hloyed ron may advance the spark az
tar as you Ike There Is no danger Of.
: back kick when starting on the mag.

Operation OF SPARK PLUGLElER
EDIFFICULT TOMASTER

stands that moving the spark lever
merely changes the relative occur
renee 81 the spark IN relation 20 the
stroke OF the piston. When the lever
Is advanced, the spark occurs sooner
that Is to SAP, earlier IN the stroke
Il the spark Il early. II occurs before
the piston has reached the highest
point IN its stroke. II the spark Is
late, It occurs after the piston has
passed the top Of its stroke and start
ed down again. After the motor IS rnil-
ming the spark should be advanced in
proportion to the speed at which the
engine Is running. but this does not
mean IN proportion 10 the work the
power plant Is doing. With fast
running engine, Il q obvious that it Is
necessary to begin ignitfng the gas be-
fore the piston reaches the top Of its
stroke In order to get the combustion
started IN time to realize the full force
Of the explosion when the piston Is
just reaching dead center and q ready
to begin its downward journey.
To appreciate this latter condition
Il must be remembered that while
combustion may seem to be almost fr-
Simultaneous, It IN reality consists or
. burning process which consumes &
certain brief amount Of time. This Is
the secret Of the need Of changing the
time at which the spark shall occur IN
relation TO the stroke OF the piston.
Thus spark that is ust right for
moderate engine speed viii be too late
Tor high speed and entirely too early
tor slow speed. In the latter case,
knock or pound win result from the
TACT that expansions are trying to-
occur backwards. but are carried over
center by the stored-up momentum Of
the flyNheel and the cars mechanism.
