There cannot be anything seriously
wrong with the motor. it is possible
that when the engine becomes heated
and expansion of the metals takes
place that the valves do not seat.
Perhaps more clearance-in the valve
push rods would overs-rule the
trouble, At any rate it appears that ,
the valve timing becomes diner-nosed
whss.«motor becomes heated. it you
are using battery for ignition pun
poses you should know whether this
battery is sunlciently strong to sup-
plythe necessary current. Exhausted
batteries. when leit standing for a
time. recuperate slightly and serve
well tor a short time only; atter that
they fail to supply the prdper amount
oi current to run the motor. You will
undoubtedly iind that there is some-
thing radioahy wrong with the valve I
timing and adiuihuent.
