CarburetOr Adjustment.

1t stands TO reason that the car
burctor must be properly adjusted
If the mixture is too rich too much
gasoline is used, and if it is too lean
the throttle must be opened too wide
The mixture should he slightly lean,
which is obtained by running the en-
gine idle until it is throughly heated
and then changing the low speed ad-
justmcnt very slowly until the engine
begins TO lose power. The mixture is
then made slightly richer until the
engine runs we'll again The throttle
is then flashed open and the highspecd
adjustment is made weaker until the
engine is drawing too much air and popp-
ing occurs at the carburctor Do not
hold the throttle open but flash
it open and close il Immediately, so as
not to wreck the engine by racing it
too much. Popping back at the car
buretor shows too lean mixture and the
high speed adjustment is changed until
the popping stops The throttle is then
flashed open several times to see that
the engine responds smoothly and rapidly.
