one to another. Where the misfiring
is in the same cylinder all the time,
as determined by the car, the matter
is not so difficult because a, simple
short-circuiting of the spark plugs
in order will quickly tell which cylin-
der 1t is.
The average owner is familiar
with this method. which consists OF
holding a hammer head against the
spark plug and cylinder top while
the engine Is idling. This cuts out
the plug. When il is so shorted 1t
will not produce a spark, even IL It
is not the faulty one. The sense OF
hearing then is used to tell one
whether the sound of the engine
changes when a plug is shorted. II
there is no change in the sound OF
engine speed when a certain plug
is cut out of action, then that cylin-
der is misfiring. If, however, the
engine slows down, and the misftr-
ing becomes worse, then that is not
the cylinder. One must test all cyl
inders in this way.
The general rule Is that II there
is misfiring always in the same CYL
inder, suspect ignition or valves, and
that IL II changes from cylinder to
cylinder, being first in one and then
in another, or perhaps two, and 80
on, suspect carburetion. These are
general rules, which do not hold in
many cases.
Let us suppose that an engine is
constantly misfiring in one cylinder,
the owner does not know which one,
and he Is unable to get any clue as
to what might be causing the trou-
