Vexatious Problem to Insert

Larger Than Gun Nozzle.
CHEMISTS CORKS ARE IDEAL
Special Guns Are Part of Equipment

Clean Out Yearly.

One of the most veXatious greasng
problems is to insert grease through
plughole larger than the nozzle of the
gun. To keep the grease from going
everywhere but into the hole, obtain
cork about the size Of the largest
plug on your car. Bore hole in this
cork so that it will slide over the
stem of the grease gun, and when you
are filling a large hole simply push
this cork down to fill the oversize
opening. Chemists rubber corks are
Ideal for this purpose. A rag or some
string packing wound around the stem
of the gun can be forced down to act
as would the cork.
Cars Have Greasing Systems.

ing systems using a special gun which
connects with the nipples on the car
This makes 1t easy to do some advis-
able cleaning of the grease passages

ty gun, release the plunger SO that it
can be worked like pump, and then
proceed to force air through the grease
connections. This will serve to clean
out the distributing grooves in which
grease residue has probably CONCEALED
during the winter. To make still more
certain Of perfect fabrication, precede
the air pressure treatment with a sim
liar treatment of kerosene to flush out
the dirty old grease, which will be

of the spring shackle. Then use air
pressure to force out the kerosene be-
fore applying fresh lubricant.
Other Places for Grease.
Nor is greasing something to be put
only into gun cups and other specified
places. Wipe some grease on the wheel
shoulders against which the demount-
able rim rests on the inside. Do this
about as often as removal of the rim
is required by tire changing. At the
same time apply grease sparingly to
the rim fasteners and to the rim bolts.
By this practice, nearly all rim squeaks
are permanently ended.

gineering considerations, is the diff

That valve leakage is one OF
the most serious losses of econ
omy in the operation of an auto
mobile for If the valves leak,
it is almost impossible to get
good compression in the cylin-
ders, and this, in turn, exerts a
powerful influence over the en-
tire performance of the car,
giving rise to knocks. loss of
power and various other ills.

dividends in efficiency and mile.
age
Worn valve stems also cause
leaks which are quite as serious
as those of the valves them
selves. In this case the failure
of the valve stem to fit snugly
into the guider allows air to be
drawn past the stem into the
cylinder, thinning the mixture to
such an extent that the engine
fails to run regularly unless the
mixture Is made richer, while
throttling down to less than ten
miles an hour is almost impos-
sible. The fact that valve
stems need attention Is usually
apparent from the kissing sound
