Fuel System
.'Have carburetor adjusted for
warmer weather. Atmospheric con-
ditions greatly affect fuel consump-
ton. If motor runs irregularly at
idling speed, accompanied by back
firing in the muller, carburetor mix
ture is too rich. If warm motor back
fires into carburetor when acceler-
ating, or when car is running down
hill, mixture is too lean.
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs should be removed
and cleaned, or replaced if neces-
sary. Dirty plugs, burned points or
weak spark cause increased fuel
consumption. Proper spark may
save as much as one gallon in every
ten gallons of gasoline used.
Body
Gall body bolts should be gone
over and frightened. Rough winter
usage can loosen these bolts to a
surprising degree.
Steering Gear
''The steering apparatus should
be checked thoroughly. Cold wealth
er, icy ruts and snow can cause I'M
due play and may weaken the gear
itself in some way.
Brakes
eff car does not stop readily or
sweryes to one side when brakes
are applied-trouble is due to i'm
proper adjustment, greasy or worn
Innings. Brake adjustment is a sci
ence. Special machines for making
exact brake adjustment are located
in most cities. Have your brakes adj
justed on such machines at leact
twice a year."

EXPERTS DIAGNOSE AUTOMOBILE
"SPRING FEVER" FOR MOTORISTS

Motor cars get Spring Fever"
too! And unless it's corrected in a
very early stage it may result in
costly repairs to your automobile.
A comprehensive and simply
worded explanation of the common
causes of automobile spring fever"
is put forth in an automotive engi-
neering bulletin issued this week.
The bulletin explains:
Spring is the time of the year
when automobiles should be care
fully watched for signs of trouble.
After winters driving under most
adverse conditions, it is only to be
expected that the mechanical parts
of car should show signs of strain.
The causes of these are very simple
and can be considerably lessened If
the proper care is taken to see that
the car is made ready for the sea.
sonal change.
Modern engines with their high
degree of efficiency and precision
are just as susceptible to radical at
mospheric changes as the delicately
balanced human system. To insure
a smooth running engine in the
spring, one should be sure that the
all-important fabrication is correct
for upon fabrication depends the
life and action of the motor. The
first thing to do is: Change to the
proper grade of lubricants for warm
or weather.
1.-The engine runs, naturally, at
cooler temperatures during cold
weather, and lighter oil must be
used to insure easy starting and i'm
mediate flow. Thick oil so congeals
when the car is left standing, that
the starter cannot turn the engine
and moving parts run dry until the
temperature rises.
Summer operation means hard
driving, and operating temperatures
run proportionately higher as atmos-
pheric temperatures rise and as
higher speeds are maintained for
long periods of time.
1T is therefore necessary, in Sum-
mer, to use oils of the highest quail
ity possessing the greatest resist
ance to heat in order to provide a
tough film for maximum bearing
protection. Also, such oils must not
be rapidly consumed.
Drain from the crankcase the sup
ply of Winter oil, which is designed
to give adequate bearing protection
consistent with low oil consumption
during the colder months when OPP
Grating temperatures are lower and
which provides the easy starting
and rapid distribution so essential
during Winter weather.

he leaves an 18-foot roadway and gets

ton occurs through condensation,
and the frequent use of the choke
permits unvaporized gasoline to
seep past the piston rings into the
crankcase, diluting the oil. These
are additional reasons for replacing
the Winter oil.
"Crankcases should be drained
while the engines are warm, then
cleaned and flushed with a nigh
grade Flushing Oil Kerosene should
never be used for flushing engine
crankcases as any quantity remain
ing in the lubricating system will
tend to dilute the fresh engine oil
and impair it's lubricating value.
"Oil-no matter how good the
product used - should always be
changed at regular intervals be-
cause of dirt, grit and gasoline d.
luton that gets into the crankcase.
Gears and Differential
"The same is true of the gears,
differential, and, in fact, all other
parts that are fabricated in any way.
One should take care to see that the
light winter gear oil and differential
grease is replaced by heavier grades
for summer use. The chassis should
also be thoroughly creased to pre-
vent excess wear and to promote
life.
Cooling System
"Drain and flush the radiator with
clean water while engine is at idling
speed. Repeat the operation until
the water that runs from the outlet
is clear. In addition, it is also ad-
visable to use a flushing fluid. 1t is
extremely harmful to leave anti
freeze in the radiator during warm
weather.
