HELPFUL HINTS.

When dry cells are used for start
ing purposes extreme care should be
exercised 10 keep them in a dry
place. Even though the cells may
be new any dampness Will cause
them 10 short circuit, and when this
takes place there will be hard work
starting the engine.
Many times a troublesome skip in
a cylinder Is due to an unsupported
leak in a high tension wire. When
hunting for such trouble, go over the
wires carefully. raising them slightly
from any such place where there
might be a leak. When found, the
place must be covered with electric
tape, unless a new wire is installed.
If the wire runs through metal
tube il will not be possible 20 trace
the whole length OF it. so it must
be removed from the tube and con-
nected up as before. BY running the
engine and going over the wire inch
by inch the leak should be discov-
cred. II It is not strong enough to
give a spark it may be found by
passing the fingers along its length.
A slight shock will indicate the
trouble instantly.
Braided insulation is particularly
liable 70 pick up moisture and short
circuit every time it rains. When
the missing cylinder is located you
should parallel the wire-that is. lay
new or perfect wire from dis
tributer TO plug. DiscOnnect the old
one and the engine should pick up
speed and the missing should stop.
II is far better 10 use metal term
inaIs on battery wires than 10 merely
wind the barred ends around the
binding posts: the special terminals
hold better, look better. and give
better contact. II no terminals are
used. however, the wire should be
passed around the post so that the
tightening of the binding nut will
tend TO wrap 1t more closely.
