Muffiers are often seriously damaged
or broken by the ignition testing
methods SO commonly used. The en-
CINE is run at a rather nigh rate ot
speed, and then the ignition switch
is turned over to another ignition or
off entirely. Only for d moment
however, when 1t is again turned On
But in the interval that has elaps.d
several charges of unburned gas havs
been forced into the mufffer. The mo-
mentum of the fywheel has carried
the pistons and valves through a
cycle of operation.
When the ignition switch is again
thrown on, this same momentum ac-
tuates the breaker mechanism and
cylinder fires. Often, a flash of flams
is forced into the muffier the un.
burned gases are ignited and an ex
plosion occurs which often causes
serious damage.
Overheating of the muff1er may bs
caused by carburetor trouble, valves
out of time, too late ignition or
clogged muffiers. Such d condition.
however, is generally the result Of
something by which the mixture il

ton chambers, but continues 70 burn

haust valve opens. If the exhaust
valve opens too soon, the burning
gases will escape before compile ting,

From the Automobile Digest.
II the exhaust gases were to be al
lowed to escape directly into the
atmosphere. the sharp explosions rap
idly following each other would prove
very annoying. The muffler, by
breaking up these gases into fine
streams and by allowing them to eX-
pand and reducing their pressure
until they are nearly of the atmos-
pheric pressure. deadens the sound of
these explosions without interposing
any great amount of back pressure.
1t so admirably performs its duties
rest Of the car receives an over
hauling.
The internal mechanism Of muffiers
varies widely; some consisting only
Of simple chambers connected to-
gether to form a labyrinth for the gas
passage, while the more complicated
forms have a number of battle plates
or walls pierced with small holes.
The most effective and silent type is
generally the more susceptible to de-
rangement and will give trouble
sooner than the less efficient. From
time to time, all muffierS should be
cleaned, as considera BILE amounts OF
carbon deposits accumulate in them
As these deposits not only tend to in
| crease the back pressure, but also
| the muffler should be cleaned at least
| once a year.
| Clean out all accumulations Of SCOT
and oil and clean the muffier thor,

| tion walls are clogged, ream out
