Carburetor Adjustments.

A great many car owners make
the mistake Of adjusting the car
buretor when the engine Is cold.
Now it is always best to make ad-
justments to the motor after II has
been run long enough to get
thoroughly warmed through. and
this applies equally to the valve
tappets, etc. 1t is quite probable
that the cold motor may operate
very well on certain adjustments
that will not agree at all with the
hot engine.
