Weak Clutch Brake

F. G. n. Writes. The cluth of my
car gives trouble from spinning" and
makes gear-changing difficult. How
can l correct this?
Answer: There is a clutch brake
on this car. which is formed by the
rubbing of the release collar on sta
tionary. fabric lined brake shoe, when
the pedG., is pushed away forward. The
lining on this brake-shoe wears thin
in time and the thrust collar has to be
readjusted closer to 1t. in order that
the parts may come together properly.
BY removing the thrust collar setscrew
and turning the collar left handed the
parts can be brought into their origin
al relation and full braking power Sc
cured to prevent spinning. The set
crwed has to have n new hole made in
which to scat in its altered position.
Oil and grease should be cleaned off
the braking surfaces occasionally by
means of gasoline.

Answer: Your layout is correct and

low the cranking speed may be. How
ever, as the installation involves con-
quires your carrying a battery, we
suggest the following alternative; That

the manufacturer of your magnetic,
This will enable you to obtain the full
spark of the magnetic. no matter how

we believe, will give you as good re-
suits as the battery auxiliary, with less

Undertaking Cummut.tor Insulntior


After the commutator surface has
been made perfectly even and smooth,
each segment should be examined to
see that it is not bridged to it's neighbor
by particles of copper. drawn over the
insulation in the truing up operation,
as these will shortcircUt the armature
coils. For undercutting the mica in
sulations hand tool can be made out
of piece of flat steel of the width of
mica by grinding a notch in one end of
it's edge. which notch forms a hook
shaped point. capable of digging the
mica out from between the bars. A
piece of hack-saw blade, formed as
above described, and set in a wooden
handle is generally used and it is con-
venient to leave the armature In the
lathe while the work is being done. 1t
is necessary to take out the mica full
width to a depth of about 1-52 inch, the
whole length of the commutator, mere
ly notching or growing it not being eff
fective. After the armature is replaced
In the generator it may be advisable to
install new brushes obtained thru the
generator manufacturer and if the
brush holder springs are weakened they
should be replaced. Accurate fitting OF
the ends of the main and third brushes
TO the commutator surface is very nee
essary and this is best accomplished by
wrapping a piece of fine sandpaper
around the commutator. sanded side
out. between it and the brush ends. BY
drawing the sandpaper to and fro
around the commutator the brush ends
are readily worn away to conform ac-
curately to the commutator surface. 1t
is important to use good brushes, as
those of inferior material, make imper-
feet contact, wear rapidly and heat ex-
cessivcly.

The generator of new car may be

commutators is undercut about 1-3s

Ensine Ms..e. Al Times

W. A. H.. writes: Soon after havins
new pistons and rings installed in my
engine 1t began missing, running spas
medically at times and we'll at others.
This missing grew worse and had the
valves ground, on my mechanics ad-
vice. but without good effect. There Is
a good spark at my plugs. Can you
give me any advice?
Answer: AS the> missing did not
commence until sometime after the
piston replacement. this may have had
nothing to do with it, and the fact that
1t is not continuous strengthens this
view. However. you better test the
compression in each cylinder. by hand
cranking and see that all the valves
scat reliably. II you find good COM
preston all around. 1t is quite possible
that the missing is due to one or more
of the following causes: Water or
other foreign matter in the carburetor
or elsewhere in the fuel system. Fail
ure of the-rarburetor air-valve to close
reliably or of the float to maintain the
fuel level. A poor connection some
