Don't blame the garageman for
rich mixture. To adjust a carburetor
properly requires a trip out on the
road in the car. He has neither the
time to do this nor does the average
owner think this necessary. He
knows about where to set the needle
valve for a running mixture. and the
one thing he wants to be sure of Is
that the owner won't have trouble
through a weak mixture. The result
is he's almost sure to leave IL rich.
and unless you know enough to adj

1t Takes Time to Repair Cars.
Most of US object to the size of our
repair bills, and I know from expert
ence that there is no one who realizes
this fact more keenly than does the
garage man. / also know that there
is nothing. a workman can tackle in
the way of a vocation where time will
fly faster than it will in automobile
work. Automobiles are not designed
with view to accessibility, and most
or the time spent on repair Jobs is
used up in, first. tearing down to get
In putting together after repairing.
Take. for instance, the replacing OF
a crown gear on the average car.
The axle must be removed. This re-
quires hosting of the rear end of the
car, disconnecting the brakes, remov-
ing spring clips and pulling the
wheels of before the job can be got
at. The housing must then be OPEN
ed. grease washed out and the axle
shafts removed before the crown
gear can be replaced. Once this is
replaced. the whole Job must be re-
assembled. This is a fairly simple
Job. but the actual repair requires
only about one-third OF the total time
consumed Yet we have come across
many a man who, for the life OF him,
could not see where we managed to
kill SO much time in replacing a
crown gear" One thing always Is
certain to US in such cases-such a
man has never tried the job himself.
Anything in the way of repairs
around the engine takes still moro
time. For some years past I have

MECHANICAL HELPS FOR
CAR OWNERS

The owners and manufacturers OF
large motor trucks have learned long
ago that the average driver has no
reliable sense of engine speed. They
have put on governors which make
1t impossible for the driver to run
the engine above a set speed. There
Is no doubt, but that this adds thou
sands OF miles to the life Of the truck.
There are. however. thousands Of
light trucks which are not governor
equipped. These are being sent over
the roads at twice the speed they
should, run by ignorant drivers. 1t
is to the owners. and drivers of these
trucks that this word of advice is
handed out.
When the rear wheel of an auto
mobile turns once, the engine crank
turns over from three and half to
four times. This is usually sufficient
to give the car speed Of about
twenty-five miles per hour with the
engine running about 500 revolutions
per minute. In the truck. however,
the engine crank turns over seven
times to the rear wheels once over.
This means that with speed OF
twenty-five miles per hour the en-
gine would be running from 1900 to
1900 revolutions per minute. This is
much too fast for the average engine.
At such speeds every moving part
Of the engine suffers. The bearings
become loose quickly, valves become
warped, and the whole engine be-
comes loose in it's fastenings under
the terrific vibration. ~.
1t shows nothing but ignorance and
an absolute lack of mechanical sense
in a driver who opens the throttle
wide when driving such truck. and
If there is one thing a fellow should
prize more than anything else these
days, it is his reputation as to his
mechanical ability. Truck owners. on
the other hand are often as much to

Remembering the following rules
will be of use in such cases:
G) Time an engine by the valves
take care of the rest. Usually the
first cylinder is selected.
(2) The exhaust valve is the most
important valve and the point at
which 1T commences to open is the
point to work from. The exhaust
valve of a four-cycle gas engine
should just commence to open when
the crank reaches a point about
forty-three degrees from outer dead
center on the power stroke. In en-
gines where the fywheel Is visible
timing marks are usually stamped on
cealed it is better to time by judging
the angle of the crank with it's
center, the crankshaft
(3) Set the crank of No. / cylinder
the camshaft until the exhaust cam
of No. cylinder is just raising the
valve off its seat, then slide the
large timing gear into place. If
after turning the engine over the
timing is found to be too late or too
early the gear must be removed and
the meshing Of the gears changed to
make 1t earlier or later as the open
ing of the valve may indicate.
The exhaust valve must close just
after the crank has passed inner
dead center by about six degrees.
while the intake valve must begin
to open about seven degrees after
the crank has passed inner dea d
center on the section or intake
stroke of the piston. The cams are
SO arranged that the intake begins
to open just after the exhaust closes /;
the timing must be such. however.
that this opening Of the intake oc-
ours just after the piston has COM
menced its outward travel on the
suction stroke.
