SCOTT: This tp the second of a series of specially prepared and. illustrated articles showing the ordinary automobile driver how to locate any engine troub: When the Engine Will Not Start Gasoline System Troubles If the Starting Motor turns the engine over as usual, but it will not start firing, DO NOT keep on operating the Starter, or you will scon run down the It WILL start in a few seconds if every thing is in order so— J: See that the Ignition Switch is ON. then— 2. Look in the Gasoline Tank to see that you have sufficient Gasoline, and that the Shut Off Cock is turned ON. If it IS— r 3. Go to the Carburetor and open the Drain Plug or Cock at the bottom of the Float Chamber, or hold the small spindle up (this is the Float Valve and comes up through the centre of the Float Chamber on most Carburetors) and KEEP IT OPEN for about 8 seconds and watch the flow _of Gasoline then— If the Gasoline DOES NOT FLOW AT ALL OR_ STOPS LOWING FREELY AFTER A FEW SECONDS, then— If you have a Vacuum Tank see B below. If, however, the Gasoline ows DIRECT from the Gaso- line Tank to the Carburetor see A. A Disconnect the pipe at the Carbure- tor and at the Gasoline Tank then blow through it with an air pump, if Possible. [If there is a ‘irainer or screen at the Carburetor cr at the bottom of the Gasoline Tank, take them out and clean them. In winter, if-after doing this, there is STILL no Gasoline, there is probably some water in the pipe or its connections, or in the Float Chamber which has frozen, and you will have to thaw it out by applying hot cloths, : B 1, Screw out the drain plug at the bottom of the Vacuum Tank or if there is a drain cock fitted, turn it on MAKING SURE THAT THE SMALL HOLE IN IT S NOT BLOCKED (push small piece of wire up hole) then— _ Tf you can drain off up to a pint of Gaso- Tine from the Tank it is all rights so discon- nect the pipe at the Vacuum Tank and the Carburetor and blow through it. If there is a strainer at the Carburetor, take it out and clean it. In winter if, after doing this, there is STILL no Gasoline, there is prab- ably some water in the pipe or in the Car- buretor Float Chamber which has frozen, and will need to be thawed out with hot If it is = ree ORE If, however, you find that the Vacuum Tank is EMPTY then— 2. ‘amine-the pipe that leads from the top of the’Vacuum Tank to the Intake Manifold to see that it is not cracked, or broken. Test the con- nections at both the Tank and Manifold to see that they are AIR TIGHT, If _they are all right then— 3. Remove the small plug at the top of the Vacuum Tank and pour in about % a pint of Gasoline, and at the same time give the side of the tank a few smart raps. Now replace the plug in the top of the tank and letthe Starter turn theengine over for about ten seconds, with the throttle CLOSED. Now drain all the Gasoline out of the Vacuum Tank. If you can drain out MORE gaso- line from the tank than you put in, the trouble has been found. If, however, you can only drain off the same amount of gasoline as you put in then— 4. Disconnect the Gasoline pipe at the Vacuum Tanke and also at the main Gasoline ‘Tank, and blow through it with an air pump, if possible. At the Vacuum Tank connection there is a strainer, take it out and clean it. Now replace the pipe and strainer, close the throttle, and Ict the Starting Motor turn the engine over for about ten seconds, then open the drain plug at the bottom of the Vacuum Tank and see if there is any Gasoline in the tank. If there is NOT, then the Vacuum Tank is defective, and will need to be repaired by the Service Station. To get home, take out the small plug at the top of the tank and fill with gasoline. It holds about a quart of gas, and will run the average car about four miles, If the engine stops before you reach home or a Service Station, you will have to fill the Tank again as before. NOTE—If you happen to run.completely out of Gasoline on the road, and fill up the main tank, itis NOT necessary to prime the Vacuum Tank or the Carburetor. Just close the throttle and turn the engine over with the Starter a few times, when the gasoline will soon be drawn through into the Vacuum Tank, and the engine will start. | IF THE STARTING MOTOR TURNS THE ENGINE OVER ALL RIGHT, AND THE GASOLINE COMES THROUGH FREELY TO THE CARBURETOR then— , ‘1. If you have‘in Air Valve_on the Carburetor, see that it is CLOSED. If it is ‘sticking PARTLY OPEN the engine will not start. If, however, it is closed then— ; aay 2. If you have been turning the engine over and over for some time with the CHOKER or PRIMER pulled out, or have been priming the engine “S excessively with Gasoline through the priming cups or Spark Plug holes, the engine is probably choked up with raw gasoline. The Choker or Primer should only be pulled right out for about two or three seconds. CLOSE THE THROTTLE and allow the engine to turn over about ten or twelve revolutions and see if it will start. If it does not, then open the priming cups, or if you haye nor fitted, take out two or three spark plugs, then with the throttle CLOSED turn the en- gine over about a dozen times. If the weather is VERY COLD and you HAVE NOT as yet primed the engine with a little gasoline, do so, and try to staft the engine. If it STILL will not start, then— 3. Take out all Spark Plugs. See first that all are dry and clean; that is, that. the porcelains and points are not covered with a Black OILY de- josit. If they are dirty, clean with a little Gasoline, ext check up all GAPS, see that they are just a trifle less than the thickness of a WORN dime, If Plugs are clean and Gaps correct then test Ignition— NEXT WEEK—‘‘IGNITION TROUBLES’* Copyrighted 1922 by The S:.N-L Technical Syndicate, OWEST STORAGE IN CASPER Repair Work on All Makes of Cars.
