Motoring Department, The sentinel——
‘i have a 1914 Ford. It has been slow
idg down and stopping on me. I had
the sediment bulb taken out and
cleaned and also the carburetor. It
ran for over a week without aby‘tro’u-
bid, now; it is stopping again. A me-
_‘c_hhnic looked her over and said the
bulb was clean, also the. carburetor,
but she steps Just the some. Can you
tell me what causes the trouble?
Thanking you for you advice,
READER.
If the motor ran well after the sedi-
ment trap and carburetor were
cleaned; you will probably find that
'the whole gasoline system needs
cleaning. There may be a quantity
of foreign matter in the." tank.‘ which
keeps working into- the pipe line and
carburetor.
Under the circumstances it would
seem advisable to have the gasoline
tank, thoroughly cleaned also. Per-
tially clogged by a piece of solder or
some. other foreign-matter.

Kindly answer the following in your

bearings, ground in the valves, took

radiator hose. The exhaust pipe of
number one cylinder gets red hot dur-
ing a few minutes’ running and the
motor does not have any power. I I
