1 am the owner of a car on which
there is a Splitdori magneto used. The
platinum points .used are genuine
platinum. The points are set to Split-
dorl‘ gauge. (‘anllot get more titan
200 miles out of points until they are
entirely burned out. The spark plugs
are also set to Spliliiorf gauge. Have
tried adjusting points a little furtlicr
away and again a little closer and
have pllt a condenser on, None or
these. has any effect. Have burned
up six sets of points, all averaging
175 to 200 miles. What is the trouble
and how can it be rcmedied?
F. R. 11.
A defective condenser will cause the
trouble. Likewise if too much oil is
used so that it gets into the circuit
breaker box the points will burn out
,quicklytA Run lug onlntt’ery instead
or iiagt‘i‘olo will also call’sc excessive
wear of the points. -
Would suggest. that you have the
electric ”sum thoroughly over-
llnul‘dd by it competent electrician or
preferably by the manufacturer.

When i jack up the car the wheels

Motoring llepat'tllient, Scntinci: '
A while ago i purchased a new car‘
ol' good make. it has been used about
000 miles, bllt seems to be very noisy
Ewhcn the motor is speeded up sudden-
ly or when a speed of twenty-live
miles an hour or more is reached. It
sounds then till it there \vcre several
loose beatings. if the hearings were
loose. they would certainly knock
under all conditions. 1 am puzzled
by the fact that this knock is pecu-
liar, because it appears only when
the motor is running at high s;ieetl.f
it is a ’1‘ head type motor. in sound.
lug for noise it seems to come from
the timing gears. But the. cover has
been taken off and the gears care-
fully examined and everything seeini
to be all right. Can you give any
suggestion as to what might cause
this peculiar noise when the motor ,
is speeded up? A. 1.. S.
If the send-honingbone type of tim- :
ing gear is used the noise may be pro
duced by ondtllvust in the cam shafts '
and magnétomhatt. -'l‘liis,~"tyie of gear
has a tendency to creep when the:
motor is accelerated. Very often the
cover. of the tintipg your cutie tits very
sloso‘ to the pears. bailout latteral
‘motion of the shafts would cause the
ihub of the gear or end of the. shaft to
T hit the case. This may be overcome. by
“installing a set screw in the timing
gear case, so that it will bear against. U
the and of the shaft and prevent any
latternl motion. When this is done the
set screw should be secured by a lock
nut.
If this does not remedy the trouble
please advise further details as toflthe
make of engine, etc. j
