Much has been written about the
difficulties Of carburetion under nor
NAL conditions, when the engines I'M
der consideration are in good shape ;
but the difficulties are even greater in
the case Of engines that have been
used for long time.
Some Of the common complaints are
of the so-called 'galloping engines"
inability to throttle to low speed
and an unaccountable missing or skip
ping.
Air-leaks diluting the gasoline va
pors are the foremost causes Of irregu-
lar action. Seldom does the air leak

air from penetrating at this point. Now
remove the intake valves, discard the
exhaust valves and use the intake
valves in their place. Purchase new

the holes snugly, ream the extreme

In some carburetors removable

no preheater, one should be added.
