There is a bite in the early morning air—motor is cold—you are anxious to get her spinning and ready for a quick pull out of the garage. Gr-r-r goes the starter—out comes the choke—motor takes hold but acts rather stiff, so out stays the choke ‘‘to help warm her up’’—and what happens? Raw gasoline goes into the combustion chambers—too rich a charge for the spark to handle. The surplus, unburned gasoline works down the cylinder walls, washing off the oil that protects these surfaces, and on into the crankcase to dilute the oil supply. The lubricating quality of your oil is weakened—friction gets in its work and along come those extra repair bills. Be a bit stingy with thechoke this winter.
