Altho it Is & ‘complicated apparatus and depends upon chemical ac- tion and reaction for its useful- ness, it will give long and faith- ful service if it is given but a ( small amount of care and at- ( tention.

Yet mighty few persons think it makes any difference what cylinder head. As @ matter of fact the length of the spark plug depends on the en gine in which it ix to be used. It is important that the plug be long enough to extend down into the com- bustion cuamber. If it does not you lose some of the force of your ex plosion. Dead gas gathers in the re- cess and your engine will miss at cylinder head. (2) Plug sets down too far, letting valve head strike points, (3) Plug as It should fit cylinder head. (4) Space around plug allows dead gases to gather. A plug which leaves a recess around the plug shell will, even tho the points extend down far enough, accumulate heat. The nemen- tal extension on such @ plug will warp and the size of the spark gap will change. On the other hand, if the plug ex- tends too far into the chamber be- cause the shell of the engine is thin, \the valve head may strike it and! change the position of the points. | The points of the plug should be about 1-32 of an inch apart for coll ignition and 1-64 df an inch for the magneto, ee | Have You a Little Spark Plug? sort of a spark plug they have, #0 | long as it can be screwed into the (1) Plog doesn’t set far enough into| i The simplest way to test a spark plug is to take a wooden handled serew driver (so you won't get the shock) and rest the metal on top of the plug, allowing the end to touch the cylinder head, while the engine is running. This will short-circuit the | current, and if the plug is all right, you will find the cylinder it serves | is missing, slowing down the engine. | If this shooting does not occur, look [on to another plug, or elsewhere in your ignition for the cause of mis- | tiring. Take a missing plug apart and soak the shel! and porcelain in kero- sene or gasoline to get the carbon | off; but do not scrape the carbon off. Scraping roughs it so that the car bon will cling to it. You can wash the. points with gasoline and scrape them with a knife, but be careful that the distance between points is undisturbed, The current must jump Acros a gap to make the spark. If the gap is too wide it wor't do ft. If there is no gap there will be no spark, ITPAYS TO ADVERTISE BY O. L.
