II IL impossible 90 make tho finish
last very long, You seem to be do
Ing the best possible under the cir
gumstsneeH, There are several body
pelishes available and II one does
not suit try another, As you Will
readily understand We cannot pass
Oh the merits or demeFits OF any
article on the market,
Motoring Editor, The News-Times,
Il have a Brush roadster, single
cylinder, IN which I just installed
new batteries, Red Head spark plug
leakpToef piston ring, new valves
ground TO seat, and have plenty
compression. Also installed la new
bronze friction rings In trgnsmissiOn.
To start the engine ! have 20 food
oRrburetor and prime cylinder and
then turn engine over 20 or so
times spinning it, when running
on low, no matter how fast you run
the engine. the car will travel just
az fast and that IL real slow. When
1 throw IN high IL ohgkes tho en-
CINE down and sometimes It will run
q half block or so and then seem TO
lose power and stop. CD How do
you tighten up tho clutch? (a)
What kind OF grease should DO used
In transmission? Any information
Will certainly be appreciated. Thank
ing you In advance. =. u. NJ.
Perhaps the vibrator needs ad-
justing, as you seem to have ROM
edied everything else. 1t might DC
we'll to inspect inlet manifold for
leaks. Use a medium grease IN
transmission. Evidently the clutch
is slipping. Have 1t adjusted or re-
placed at a good repair shop.
Motoring Editor, The News-Times,
Gould you tell me the cause and
remedy for the following: My Buick
car 1915 run 5000 miles has always
had a fierce clutch, no matter how
much oil I put in It. II engages
with jerks and jumps. While over
hauling I put new clutch leather IN,
but it has not improved It any Al
though my battery IS up TO
standard. the engine takes long
time 10 fire both on self-starter and
crank and when II does fire Il
coughs and backhres a little at first,
then runs all right. Then when 7
shut her down sometimes the en-
CINE will give a few revolutions and
backhre two or three times. 1t is
not from glowing carbon, for I took
the cylinders off and cleaned them
out. Thanking you for an early
answer, yours truly J. Mel
AS you have done about all that
could be done for the clutch, the
fault is probably in the angle Of the
face. This could only be remedied
at considerable expense. The en-
CINE is probably cold, causing It 70
sputter as you mention. Tighten
up on adjusting screw Of air valve
and you will probably remove the
back -hring when throttled down.
Motoring Editor, The News-Times.
Il have a 1916 Oldsmobile Model
AZ, four cylinder motor, and would
be pleased 20 have you advise me
what may cause the motor TO skip
when throttled slow That is, IL will
run smooth for the first FIVE miles
and when motor becomes Gated Will
skip, when throttled slow" but will
run very even at about 8 miles
per hour. What causes the exhaust
TO be rather overload while run
ming with spark fully advanced?
VIII carbon remover injure my mo-
tor? Thanking you in advance for
your advise. A. c. II.
The skip may be due to a leak
in inlet manifold. valve litter touch
ing a valve stem. or faulty air valve
adjustment. Inject oil around
Joints Of manifold. IL is is drawn
in at any place tighten bolts or re-
place gasket. See that there is suf-
fcient valve clearance under each
valve. Make sure that air valve
moves freely, but do not change ad-
justment unless YOU understand II.
There may be leak In exhaust
manifold, causing greater noise
when spark is advanced. Usually
the noise is made louder by retard-
ing the spark. IL is claimed that
the carbon removers on the market
will not injure the motor, but that
can only be determined by analysis.
Pour peroxide OF HYDROGEN on air
valve while engine is running or
put half a teacupful kerosene into
each cylinder when hot once a
week. letting Il stand over night,
and the carbon troubles will be re-
duced 10 a minimum.
Motoring Editor, Tie News-Times-
The carbureter on our REQ car
leaks and has been doing so for a
day or two What causes this and
