gradual engagement. but 1 cannot se-
cure the desired result, What may
cause this? What treatment can i
give the clutch to soften it. A reply
will be appreciated. P. R.
The leather oi the clutch is no doubt
too dry and should be treated with
castor or neatsfoot oil. First clean
the clutch leather in order to remove
all foreign matter. it is often n'eees-
. sary to remove the glazed surface it
any, by Scraping, Apply the oil over
the whole face of the leather and al-
low it to soak in over night. This
should soften the leather and help to
eleininate the trouble if there is on
adjustment on the clutch spring,
would advise decreasing the tension of
the spring slightly.

The float in the carburetor may be
adjusted too high, csusing the valve

to replace the oil! valve. Very often,
