BROKEN FLYWHEEL TEETH
Easily Detected by Click as Starter
Is Used-Not Vital.

Owners who are careless about start
ing the engine. and who end up by
having a cylinder backfire, often worry
for fear they have stripped tooth from
the fiywheel gear. This is one of mo-
tordom's unnecessary worries, because a
damaged tooth is easily detected.
All the driver has to do Is listen when
next cranking. If there is a clicking
sound as the engine turns over, the in
dications are that a tooth is missing.
If this is on the fiywheel, the click will
not be heard as often during the process
as II the starter gear itself we're minus
a tooth.
