They want to know what broke or what went wrong. what I had to do to fix it and how much it all costs. But they seldom ask me what caused the trouble, or whether they had anything to do with it. | “The trouble with that chap who | { The Washington Cadillac Company Rudolph Jose, President 1138-1140 Connecticut Avenue Franklin 3900, 3901, 3902 just drove out is that he doesn't know how to handle the spark. He thinks he picked a ‘lemon’ just because he had to have new wrist pins put in! every now and again or a bearing taken up. The whole trouble with his car is himself. T've told him a dozen times not to accelerate the car with | the spark fully advanced, but he pays | no attention to my advice, because he can’t visualize what's going on in his engine when he does the wrong thing. | “With the spark fully advanced the plugs fire the mixture of their cylin- | ders long before the pistons reach the | top of their compression stroke. | When an engine gets up speed and the road is level it's better for the spark to arrive early, because it gives the gas vapor a bettér chance to burn completel pand and do its work of pushi pistons down. ® But, when the car is dragging. an early or advanced s make the pistons rever: motion. The momentum of the car and the speed of the engine prevent them from ac- tually doing this. the reverse force pistons re under these | conditions acts like a hammer blow. | thus wearing out the wrist pins and | straining the bearings. | “If that chap would learn to handle | his spark properly he'd realize that| his own driving is what gives the car | the lemon flavor.” Driving Through Rain.
