Battery jars must be mechanically strong and must allow no leakage of current or battery solution. v But it's the insulation between the plate3 that keeps that battery full of life and adds months to it3 term of useful service.

Wlici haa an answer for this one? QUESTION. I have a great deal of troub'o with my clutch. Will HpprociJitw any helpful suKKeKtion from you. ANtiWER. dutch trouble is ono of the commonest complaints amonsf car oivnej-s Thu ciutcli tlirowout collar liocds daily lubrii.;Ltion, arid in rrwuiy ii.r fiUluro to Kivo this, even for a Hltigla day, may mean clutch trouble. Give tho clutch the lubrication it needs.

QUESTION. What lis a pood quick way for replacing piston rings? ANSWKK. A fttcl rinff Just the diainoter of the cylinder bore at one end and tap red off at tho other until it is just large enough to slip over the piston rltiK makes it eay to get a piston back in its cylinder, obviating, as it dots, catching of the rings. QUESTION". (1) I have a HarleyDavidaon with a mileagre of 3.600 miles. I have taken jfood care of the batteries as far as I know and teeted them rotrulaxly, but lately the light fuse hae been blowing as oiten as I put one in and all the light bulbs burn out. This happens even 'when I am not using- the lights. It sparks wedl and the horn ia loud. "V"hat is the cause of the above trouble? (2) The clutch is also giving- me trouble. When it's la low. it's all right, but when I run it in second It grinds and -when in high it Jerks a little. Could the above be due to worn plates? tS) Is there any mixture that will dissolve the carbon without hurting the engine and would such a method be as good as scrapping? AXS IVER. ( 1 1 The cause of your lights burning out is a short circuit arid would advise having the lixiil dealer tra;e it and make necessary repairs. (2) Ion't believe the trouble is with the clutch but In your transmission. Try draining old oil out of transmission case and clean out with kerosene, putting: in fresh oil. 3 There are a number of preparations on the market, but none of them are as good as taking the cylinders off arid scraping the carbon by hand. Ql'ESTION. I have a model NTE 1317 Indian and am having considerable trouble adjusting the short drive chain. When the engine is in one position the chain will be very tight and wlin the engine is cranked over again (about onehalf length of the drive chain), the drive chain becomes very loose. Could it be that the chain or either of the sprockets are worn?

ANSWER. Sprockets and chains are worn and should be replaced by new parts. QCESTION". Can you 5ugpst an easy way of removing' the wheel hub washer of the front wheel? AXSWEIi. he job of removing the wheel hub washer of the front wheel is often en almost impossible job, but it can be made easy by the use of a simple tool than can be made by any car owner. Take a fair of round jawti pliers five or six inches long. file a notch on the inside' of each jaw near the end and then reduce the diameter of the jaws until they will just slip into the holes in the ends of the spilt washer. With this weapon it is easy to remove the washer. isimply hook the ( fl A V. lii.ru i rv"T r Via Viril Ad 1 r c?

' the pliers to contract the washer so

that it may be drawn out of the groove, when it is easy to slip it out by running a screwdriver point around the edge. QTTEPTTOr. On you suggest a way for keering ahaokle bolts lubricated? ANSWER.

The holes must be repacked about once in six months. QUESTION". What causes a cowl squ-ak? ANSWER. A cowl squeak may often he traced to a speedometer shaft which needs lubrication. The shaft should be repacked with vaseline or a very soft grejue, and the operation should be carrier! out at orce. because if the shaft Is

permitted to run unlubrieated for more

than a short time breakage will very possibly result. QUESTION TTow often should I put water in my motorcycle battery? A-N'SWEK. Once every two weeks. QUESTION. How often should heavy oil be put in transmission? ANSWER. Oiii'n every five hundred miles.
