~\ ¢ . "TROUBLE SHOOTER’ Shows How to Adjust and Tune up Motor for the Season’s Running. By E. H. SCOTT: This article gives practicas, step-by-step instruc- tions to the motorist ho want te reduce his repair bills, get more power from his motor, and eli trouble during the coming touriig season, ‘The Gasoline System and Carburetor When you have trouble in the oline system, it is well to re member that IT IS RARELY THE TROUBLE LIES IN THE RBURETOR ADJUSTMENT. This trouble can only occur when djustment loosens up, a VERY RARE occurrence. jo not under circumstances start tinkering with the Carburetor or alter its adjustment, unless you are certain that the Carburetor requires ad- justing. If the fault does lie in the gasoline system, it is usurlly caused either by dirt or lint clogging up one of the gasoline screens or getting into the spraying nozzle, water in the gasoline, loose con- nections at the Vacuum Tank, or an air leak in the Intake Manifold, all troubles that can be prevented from occurring very easily. At the bottom of the gasoline nf is a drain plug, and a strainer on line also, to keep t and sediment from be- np to the Vacuum uit the drain plug and ‘draw off all gasoline in the tank, This will remove any watér or sediment that may have collected.. If there is a strainer at th soline tank, remove it and see that it is clear. Next rtain that the small hole filler cap on the gasoline tank is open. If it is blocked up, it will cause a vacuum to be created in the tank and prevent the gaso- line from flowing through to the Carburetor freely. From the tank in the rear, the gasoline is drawn up to the Vacuum Tank by the suction of the engine. At the top of the Vacuum Tank you will find three tubes, one leading to the tank at the rear, one leading to the Intake Manifold, and one small tube called the Vent pipe which has the end open. Disconnect the tube from the Vacuum tank that leads to the tank in SigisGaaan the rear, and blow through it with an air pump. Next take out the small screen at the con- nection where the gasoline en- ters the Vacuum Tank, and see that it is clear. See that the connections on the suction tube that leads from the. Vacuum ‘ank to the Intake Manifold are not tight. If cither of these con- =4 ections are loose, the Vacuum k will not operate properly. Bonn xamine the end of the Vent pipe to see that it is not blocked up with greasy dirt.

Now set the Spark lever in the normal running position, and open up the throttle just enough to keep the engine running at a moderate speed. Ni if high, speed adjustment has lock nut, loosen it, then turn down screw until engine begins to lose speed and shows signs of stopping and pops back in the Carburetor, indicating a very weak or lean mixture, then turn the adjusting screw back, listenin) to the engine as it picks up speed, stopping’when ‘urther turning o} the screw does not increase the speed of the engine. Now advance the spark lever right up, and open the throttle wide open for just a second or so. The engine should respond instantly, and at the same time, the smoke from the exhaust should be practically colorless (blue or white smoke is caused by too much oil). If the smoke is BLACK and smells strongly of gasoline, then the adjustment must be turned back until not a trace of black smoke comes from the exhaust when you open the throttle wide for a second or so. ges foe have the correct adjustment, tighten the lock nut so that the adjusment will not shift. = ' Wyoming Compression Tube & Tire Company PHONE 1125M 426 E_ Second St. Casper, Wyo.
