The following answers to queries and hints are by William H. Stewart, Jr., who is president of the Stewart Automobile academy of New York city, and regarded as the leading au- thority on mtor car cducation in this country. Queries from locat au- toists will be cheerfully answercd next week if possible. Motoring Department.—To settle a little argument will you kindly let me know in your next issue if two “Blitzen Benz" cars were used first by Oldfield? Were they ever raced by Burman? Yours truly, W. K. H. The two Benz cars to which you refer bear different names. That is, one is called the *Blitzen” and the other the “Jumbo.” The Blitzen was first driven by Oldfield and then sold. Both of these cars have been driven at exhibition races by Bur- man, but Oldfield only drove the Blitzen, and that for a short time. P Motor Department.—I have a high tension magneto on a and it is very hard to crank. The magneto is supposed to Start any mo- tor on one-quarter turn, but it will not do it. Can you suggest some- thing that wil] overcome the trouble Can it be connected up with batteries to crank on? if so, how and what kind of a coil would You advise to connect it with? Thanking you in advance for any information you may be able to give me, I am, respectfully, C. E. B. When starting on the magneto it is advisable to advance the spark. This will facilitate starting. You might also arrange an attachment on the carburetor which will afford a rich mixture and facilitate starting. Would suggest that you communi- car, | cate with the makers of your magneto regarding instructions as to the changes you contemplate. In writing give full particulars regarding the type of magneto you are using. .. Motoring Department.—I have a 1913 model Flying Merkel motorcycle and am having lots of trouble trving to get rid of a metallic knock which I think is in the valves. The knock ap- pears when the motor is working slow, about fifteen miles an hour. I then retard the spark and the knock disappears. But when I try to get up speed again by advancing the spark the knock appears again, but the knock does not disappear by re- tarding. This trouble I did not have when the machine was new. Now when 1 am rolling along at about twenty or twenty-five miles an hour I do not have this trouble. Any in- fermation on this will be greatly ap- preciated.—G, H. It seems that the knock in the mo- tor is due to loose bearings. When the motor is pulling the knock is more noticeable. 1t may be that you carry the spark too far advanced when picking up speed. It is not a difficult matter to de- termine and locate the nature of the knock when the motor is running idle. By sounding with a steel rod held be- tween the teeth and closing the ears you should be able to locate it. . Motoring Department.—I have been told that an old shoe, cutting off the rim, can be inserted in another old shoe, and that the shoe can be used or travelled with a number of miles. Please advise just how to insert, make lap, and cover blow-out hole in the 1 by | stble. S 00 COLO old shoe, and if it is necessary to place additional patch in the old shoe Lo cover blow-out. What would you recommend to be used to stop buzz in my differential? I use Dixon 677 and 688 fibre mixed, but it does not stop the buzz.—N, L. w. Sections from an old case may be used to advantage in case- of blow- outs. The edges of the section should be carefully bevelled to prevent injury to the tube. It is also advisable to remove the tread from the section in order to reduce the thickness, It i+ hardly practical to install an old casing within an old casing. The buzz in the differential may be due to the gears being meshed too close to- gether. This should be eliminated proper adjustment, providing the gears are not too badly worn. e Motoring Department: On my one- cylinder Cadillac ear I am constantly bothered with plugs smoking up and becoming coated with carbon, 80 that they ground. Please advise in your “Auto Columns” how to over- come this difficulty.—W, M. R. This car is very old, and the eylin- der is probably worn to such an ex- tent that too much oil gets into the combustion chamber. In order eliminate this trouble you will prob- ably find it necessary to have the cylinder rebored and new piston rings fitted. Excessive carbonization is due to an imperfect combustion of the mixture. Too much oil will cause this trouble. If you do not care to entail the expense of reboring the cylinder you might try using oil of a heavier grade and also cut down the supply. An over-rich mixture will also cause carbonization. Keep the mixture as lean as possible and carry the sparks as far advanced as pos- . Motoring Department: 1 find that after running my car an hour or so it begins to jerk and miss.

Leaving the car stand a minute and then starting again 1 fina it will run fine for about twenty minutes and then the same thing wil happen again.—R.

A result. If the valves have not been cleanea for a long time, it is possible they may be gummed and occasional- ly stick. It appears, however, that the annoyance is more than likely due to foreign matter in the carburetor and pipe line. ..

I have removed each | part, thoroughly cleaned same, re- placing new mica or isinglass on the stationary side after replacing same for'trial.

It runs all right with a retarded spark, but as soon as 1 advance it the motor will start to skip fire and back fire through the muffler. There also seems to be a loss of power. Please AT The armature shaft may be too far advanced: the wire leading from the coil box to the interrupter may have a frayed end which comes into con- tact with the metal of the magneto upon advancing the spark or the in- terrupter points may be wrongly ad- Justed. In order to see whether the arma- | ture is set correctly simply retard the spark lever and get the piston of No. 1 cylinder on the firing center. Then look atgthe interrupter points. If they have already separated the spark is tod far advanced, but if it is necessary to turn the engine slightly in order to make them separate it Is timed correctly The interrupter of the magneto should sep- arate one thirty-second of an inch on advance and retard setting. They can be adjusted by turning the screw on the insulated side of the interrupter. e Motoring Department—Can you tell me if an overhead valve on an au- tomobile gas engine will give more horsepower than a “T" head or "L | head if the bore and stroke are the What is & 3 3-4 “bore 4" L head 2-horsepower ? “bore 4" stroke “T" head “bore 4" stroke overhead valve 30-horsepower?
