Starting the Car
TheseColdDays
With DisIlcl0th
Don't Waste Battery ''Juice''

By H. Clifford Brokaw

mobile owners who are bringing in
their complaints of trouble in starting
their cars these frosty mornings. 1t

peeved owner would but purloin his
wife's dshcloth and teakettle and use
them to start the car. Many a car which
purred off at the first turn of the
crank handle or the slightest step on
the starter button few weeks ago is
rccalcitrant now that there is tang
in the air and the north breezes blow.
Of course, the principal difficulty in
starting a car when it is cold is that
The gasolene does not readily vaporize
and combine with air into a combustible
mixture. Understanding this. do not
wear out the storage battery with the
starter or your patience with the crank
handle in a fruitless endeavor to start
something. Use your head instead OF
your arms. 1t will start easier, for
neither headstrong nor armstrong
starters are worth while. Just remem-
Der that the problem is one Of vapori-
cation.
The first point in this process to be
remembered is that the mixture must

it was failure.
"Electric transmission in automo-

it has now been shown to be in dread

Magnetic, too, was an experiment, but
that was five years ago. AS in the

are that, due to cold air and cold metal,
the gasolene drawn through the spray
nozzle is not vaporized to point where
it forms combustible mixture. This
is because OF the condep sation when
the spray of gasolene strikes cold air
and metal. Under normal temperature
conditions it v&porizes readily.
The spray nozzle is a small tube
with tiny aperture in one end, and
needle valve regulates the volume OF
gasolene which can pass through. Gas
olene is fed into the tube from the
float chamber and maintained at
constant level by float and valve.
The gasolene is drawn through tiny
orifice by suction. When the piston
goes down on the suction or intake
stroke partial vacuum is created in
the cylinder, and when the intake valve
opens there is strong suction through
the manifold and gasolene is drawn in
to the mixing chamber, along with air
entering through the air intake.
Normally all the gasolene is vapor-
lied and mixed with air in proper
proportion and we have a combustible
mixture; that is. there is no extra con-
densation because of cold air and cold
metal. When the latter are present,
we have the same vacuum, the same
flow of gasolene and air, but these
component parts do not combine prop
erly and the mixture will not burn.
Sometimes when this condition pre-
walls it may be overcome by choking
the carburetor - so-called because it
shuts off the air by device operated
from the dash. This allows more gaso-
lene to pass through the spray nozzle
because the force of the suction must
act through the nozzle rather than
the air intake. and usually it gives
sufficient mixture to start the motor.
AS soon as the engine starts it is
very important that the choking de-
vice be opened partially. depending
upon the temperature, until The en-
glne heats up, and then opened fully.
| Otherwise the excess of gasolene will
cause the engine to run sluggishly.
Indeed, it may load up the cylinders
with such rich mixture that the en-
glne will stop presently. This in turn
VIII make it hard to start the engine
again. Do not close the choker again
II the engine stops from this cause.
Get as rnucn air in as possible while
you crank the engine and thus approx
mate correct mixture.
II use of the choking device fails to
start the engine on a frosty morning
the only thing left is to apply heat to
