AUTOMOBILE TROUBLES HLADE PLA i Motorists” Column Queries ‘Answered Helpful Hints HELPFUL HINTS TO MOTOR CAR OWNERS. Although rarely done, it is better to strain lubricating oil before it is put in the tank or reservoir, not only to prevent the clogging of oil ducts-and to eliminate the possibility of abrasive action due to foreign substances, but also to prevent foreign matter from getting into the pump. Such matter may cause the pump to stick and some part to becomg broken. One of the causes of excessive current consumption in igni- tion systems employing vibrator coils is too much tension on the vi- bratorgsprings. The spring adjustment should be slackened until the motor commences to miss explosions and then tightened down gradually until the firing again becomes regular. Further tighten- ing: results only in useless consumption of current. When a motor is turned over slowly with the crank it may ap- pear that all the valves are working properly and seating as they should, but it sometimes happens that the stems 'aré gummed, dry, or fouled with dust and dirt, so that they cannot move fast enough to keep pace with the motor when it is running. This is a good point to watch, for it may easily cause misfiring and other appar- ently causeless troubles. In regrinding valves, it is advisable to use a light spring under the valve head, acting to ralse the valve from the seat; the valve should be worked up and down so as to work the abrasive material onto the seat. In grinding the valve should be rotated with a re- ciprocating motion, not turned continually in one direction, else ridges will be formed. A mistake that not infrequently is made is the washing of tires with a mixture of kerosene and water employed for washing the body of the car. This is anything but right, as oil is bad for rub- ber.

Motoring Department, The Herald: In your last week's issue you instruct to determine whether there is equal compression in all the cylinders. How do you determine this? Can you recommend a recipe for a rim paint to prevent rusting of in- side of rims, ‘and the sticking of tubes and shoes to same?—A. T. H. The compression of each cylinder is detected by hand, that is to resistance offered by each cylinder when cranking is carefully noted and compared with the others. If there is a leak in any one of the cylinders, it will_ not offer any resistance. You can determine the faulty cylinder by opening all the pet cocks except that one of the cylinder being tested. A mixture of shellac and .graphite is good for rims. thoroughly cleaned first and all rust removed. One or two coats of shellac and graphite will be found quite sat- isfactory. Motoring Department, The Herald: Can you suggest the cause for a mys- terious overheating of my engine? Competent repair men have searched several times without effect. The wa- ter pump is all right and the water circulates. . The oil circulates. The mixture is correct. The timing of the spark and valves is right. I do not drive with a retarded spark. In every respect the engine is all right, ex- cept that it overheats when the throttle is opened for hill climbing or other necessity: I have had the cylin= détra:cleaned, of carbon and the.valves groumd and the compression — made good. The overheating began this summer and gets worse. It is a 1913 car, four cylinder. There is no trouble with the radiator nor any part of the water circulating system that can be found; but the water will boil almost as soon as the throttle is well opened up. Thanking you for any suggestion.—H. The overheating must be due to a defective radiator. ‘While you may not be able to detect anything wrong | with it, nevertheless there may be a great ‘amount of deposit uponthe fnner walls of the radiator. - It does BASEBALL) FASTERN ASSOCIATION TOMORROW SPRINGFIELD .
