CAUSE OF TROUBLE

In some carburctors tho fioa;

a small leaf spring. tho end OF
which is notchcd 10 tit into de
preston In the cover. Sometimes
the float bowl cover comes loose
causing bad float action. Care In
watching the tension Of this spring
Is the only cure for this. and In
some cases this cover may even
become warped and practically pre-
vent the float from moving.

PROPER IDIING

Owners OF cars containing small
bore six cylinder engines sometimes
complain OF the difficulty of obtain.
ing proper idling The owner usually
assumes that the carburetor Is Mt
fault. As matter OF fact the trou-
BILE Is usually caused by tho spark
plug gaps being set too close. This
causes the motor to roll when idling
with all the symptoms OF loading. by
increasing the spark gaps and clean.
ing the plugs, the trouble viii be
cured
