IMPROPER TIRE TROUBLE SOURCE Truok Service Should Be In- vestigated if Rubber Does Not Wear. l When solid tires have not given | service, rather than apply new tires, assuming ‘that the old tires have falled, due to some manufacturing fault, it would be well to investigate the service the truck is being op- erated in. If the load the truck is called on to -carry is found to be -in excess of the normal rated capacity of the truck, or exceeds the maxi- mum carrying capacity of the tires, the more satisfactory- course is to change. the tires for & size or type that will meet the conditions as found. The limitations of each size and type of solld tires a pretty well established, and If th limitations are exceeded a larger size or a_dif- ferent type of tire will quickly cor- rect the faulty service and an im- will soon ical service ed States Tire Company. Three Vital Factors. The service rendered by solid tires is largely dependent on three factors: The speed at which the vehicle is driven, the load trafisported and the type or condition of the road_ over lwhlch the vehicle operates. When determining tire sizes for original equipment, these three items are usually given careful comsideration by the truck manufacturers and the correct tire size is carefully esti- mated. The original tire equipment as fitted to vehicles is thus usually of ample size to meet the average user's requirements and will give satisfactory service as long as the vehicle is operated nhd loaded to its normal rated capacity. It either the vehicle speed or its load exceeds this normal rate some change must be made in tire equip- ment, either a change in tire tvpe or an increase in tire size to take care of the the tires. Speed Important. - It is just as import: that the speed at which the vehicle is oper- ated be carefully checked as it is to see that the loads do not exceed |¥ the maximum limits as recommended for the size of tire used. General road conditions should come in for a fair amount of con- sideration, for if they are generally poor the impact forces generated by. the load suddenly dropping into road depressions and operating over road obstructions will tend to lead to early tire failure unless the vehicle is amply tired to withstand such in- creased impact loads. More solid tire trucks fail due to overloading or overspeeding than any other cause. When the tire mileage is not up to expectations there is reason for assuming that the uvehicle is being operated in a service In excess of the magimum ‘capacity of the tires being used. | ANSWERS TO QUERIES I H. The make of car you drive car- bonizes more readily than the average machine, and this is particularly’ true of the newer models. But cleaning carbon five times in 4.846 miles s exceptional. If you are’ using the grade of oil recom- mended by the manufacturer and if the rings are tight so that the pistons do not -pump oil the trouble is obviously with” your carburetor. It fs evidently delivering too rich a mixture. The trouble may also be caused’ by using ! too lean a mixture, in which case car- bon results by excessive use of the choker in starting and when you are trying to force the car to cilmb a hill in_“high.” ‘We rather suspect that the power loss which always induces vou to try clean-| ing"carbon 1s due to using an exceasive- ly lean mixture. Otherwise why do con. ditions not improve when carbon is re- moved and stay improved for at least several thousand. miles. You will al- ways find some carbon in a motor even a few hundred miles after it has been cleaned. A lean mixture will cause a knock and loss of power similac to that caused by an accumulation of carbon. And since you must choke the motor to make up for the loss of power the motor rapidly s up again with car- There would be nb advantage in put- ting two gaskets under the cylinder- head. This only increases the size of the combustion chambers and gives the motor a little more power. It would not rpg keep _the motor clean. M. B.—Failure of the starter to crank the motor may be due to jam- ming of the starter gears. This is fre- quently true of starters which operate meshing with the geared edge of the fiywheel. The rem: is to place the car in gear and rock it back and forth until the starter gears are free again.

The effect is to wear the clutch rapidly, bringing on all the evils that result from a worn clutch. A simple but effective way to take off or put on piston rings is to cut four pleces -of tin about one-quarter inch wide and three or four inches long and de them under the piston rings a lit- tle ways apart.
