The Automobile Simplified By FREDERICK C. GUERRLICH, M.E. Make This Your Automobile Correspondence School AN Intimate talk on the working units of the automobile discussed in such a way that the layman can easily understand them, If in reading these articles, as they appear in the Palladium each Saturday, there is anything not clear to you, ask Mr. Guerfich about it. An answer will be published on the completion of the articles on the section of the automobile under discussion. Copyrighted. IS IT, By 7rdr1ck C Garr!lch.
LESSON NO. 12 Trouble Locating Continued Having seen how loss of compression might occur and thus cause trouble, let U3 take up another of the "Three Essentials' and see how and where there may be trouble due to it While I have not yet shown you how to adjust a carburetor, I want to say that the best advise that I can give you with reference to the carburetor is, once adjusted properly, to let it alone. The adjusting screws of the carburetor-are always locked, so that they cannot of themselves move. Therefore, if the mixture was right last week, it will be right this week, as far as these screws are concerned. Unfortunately, the person who knows little about his engine, will, when
eometmng goes wrong, immediately play with hia carburetor adjustment, as he cannot get a shock from it, and those screws are so handy. It is extremely seldom that the poor running of an engine which ran well a short time ago, is due to the adjustment, while the sudden stopping of the engine is practically never due thereto. Let me again say, therefore, and say with as much force as possible, that, "once your carburetor is adjusted. LET IT ALONE." Mixture trouble may, however, develop, due to trouble In the flow of the gasoline to the carbureter; to extra air getting into the mixture, between the carbureter and engine; or to water being In the gasoline. As to the extra air. While this is an unusual trouble, sometimes the bolts holding the carbureter to the manifold, or the manifold to the engine loosen, thus allowing air to get In at these joints and so weaken the mixture. It is a good plan, therefore, to test and tighten these bolts once in a while. By pouring oil around the joints, you can see if there i sa leak-' age, as, if there is, the oil will be
sucked in. As to trouble due to the flow of the gasoline to the carbureter? The ways in which this might be effected are as follows: You might be out of gasoline; the gasoline may be turned ofT; the feed pipe may be stopped up; your carbureter bay be higher than the level of the eas in the tank.
if you are on a hill, and have a gravity AA.jS A. . .

shellac, and, sometimes, chewing gum will, make an emergency repair You will usually find the leakage at the filler. You can determine whether the trouble is between the vacuum tank and the carbureter if you have a vacuum system or between thin tank and the supply tank, by opening the pet cock at the bottom of it. If gasoline comes out then the trouble is between the carbureter and the vacuum tank, while if it is dry it Is either due to a fault In the vacuum tank itself or in the pipe between it and the main tank. Water In the Gasoline Water in the gasoline may cause the engine to stop suddenly, but
usually the stopping is accompanied
by a "popplngr in the carbureter and
a loss of power. Sometimes the water
will cause the engine to sort of hesitate a moment then speed up and
again hesitate.
The remedy for water, when the
engine has stopped or fails to 'start due to it. Is to drain the carbureter after gently tapping it. As a rule, to
start the engine you will have to prime
it, often through the compression
cocks. As soon as the engine starts,
race it for a second or two. Where the water has gotten into the carbureter, due to rain or the washing of the car, the above will usually be suffi
cient, but, if it is in the tank, you will have to drain off the gasoline, let the tank dry and then refill with strained
gasoline.
If you are so unfortunate as to buy
gasoline with water in it while on the
roaa, you wm nave to "nurse" your
engine for the rest of the trip. This
you can do when you feel the water, due to sudden loss of power or pop
ping, Dy tnrowlng out the clutch and
racing the engine for a moment, or
by changing the condition of drivel that is, by shifting to second or low, or, again, back from second to high. If you know your spark is O. K. and
J that your feed line Is all right, sus

nozzle, the float and float valve of a carbureter. Later you will learn that the level of the gasoline in the carbureter must always be about 1-16 of an inch below the nozzle. This is accomplished by placing a float, made either of cork or hollow metal, in the liquid in the gasoline chamber, and v having this float work a valve. By referring to the illustration you will notice that, when some of the gasoline is drawn out of the gasoline, or float chamber as it is called, through the spray nozzle A, the float will drop and thus raise the needle B and so permit gasoline to enter and take the place of that drawn off. In thi3 way the level in the chamber is always maintained. Let us see how this float-valve mechanism can go wrong and thus affect the mixture. The float Itself if of cork might become saturated with gasoline (it is protected by shellac) or if of metal might be punctured and fill with gasoline, and thus become too heavy. This would cause the level of the gasoline in the chamber to be raised, and so make the mixture too rich. The float valve arm C, might stick, either causing the valve to remain open or closed, the mixture thus being too rich or too lean, respectively. Dirt might get in the float valve thus stopping the flow of gasoline into the carbureter. Let us see. by referring to the Illustration, if there is not some way by which we can quickly tell if the flow of the gasoline has been stopped. When the engine is not running, if we
pressed down on the rod E called primer and sometimes tickler the needle B would be held in a raised position and gasoline would flow Into the carbureter until it overflowed. Thus, if we saw the gasoline coming out through all openings, we would know that the flow was not stopped, and, therefore, would be resonably sure that our trouble, in case of stoppage was not due to mixture. On the other hand, if It does not flood, then we know that the trouble is in the feed of the gasoline. Knowing that the gasoline Is not feeding we would first have to make sure that we had gasoline; then, that It was not turned off (the valve may be closed due to vibration); then we must be sure that there are none of the failings due to our particular feeding system as given above; then see if the float valve is clogged, which can be done by taking the needle out and running a thin hairpin into the valve opening; and, finally we would have to take off the pipe and, by running a wire through it, make sure that it is not clogged up. As to the test of the various styles of feed (to be studied in detail later), if you have a gravity-feed system, you can easily tell whether or not, when you are on a hill, the carbureter is higher than the level of the gasoline in the supply tank. If it is, the remedy Is to turn the car around and go up the hill backward. Leakage of air pressure. In the pressure-feed system, can be discovered by pumping with the hand pump and watching the pressure gauge. If the pressure drops quickly you know that it is leaking out. Generally your ear, or the oil test, will tell you where. Tape, brown

It has a staff of specialists who have devoted more than sixteen years to the study of this one disease. There is no other institution like it in this country and their methods used in curing catarrh are different from any other in this country. Their methods can be used either in the Institute or in the home, according to patient's convenience. Anyone visiting Indianapolis is Invited to call at the Institute and Investigate their methods and results. But for conven
ience, it is well to see the medical director; an expert specialist, when he is in this city. His examination, consultation and advice is free. He invites everyone who is afflicted with chronic catarrh of the nose, throat or lungs, chronic cough and bronchitis, dropping mucous in the throat, pains in the chest, shortness of breath, clogged up head and nostrils, head noise, catarrhal deafness, hawking and spitting or any chronjc catarrhal condition, to be examined and get his advice without
charge or obligation. He will be glad to talk with you, giving you the benefit of his skill and experience freely. Beware of tuberculosis and other fatal conditions by taking treatment in time. The specialist will be at the Arlington Hotel Thursday, June 19th, from 9:30 a. m. to 8 p. m. one day only, and will examine all who call to see him.
