it impossible to run without overheat»
even with the our
standing still. I have taken the hose

radiator. I have also washed radiator
out with washing soda. W395 the
engine gets hot, the. whole radiatori

en the head off and carefully cleaned;
the pistons- Can you give me anvl
remedy which might help? 0. 3. ill

when it is operating under load. Use‘
a slightly'leaner ' mixture from the'

ful not to race engine. Keep (an bolt

Originally an automobile engines
were called "engines" in this country.:
but the English Icrm “motoring" bo-
gan to be adopted here as a substitute
for the longer term “automobilingf',
and so we. speak of the “motor" in-'
stead of the “engine." Now that the
electric motor is used to crank the:
engine. the confusion you speak of
has occurred, and so automobile cu—

—\'\‘bul is the effcct of advancing tho
spark? Does it give a hater spark or
a quicker spark, or what? C. B. N.
The effect is to bring the spark ear-
lier in the. travel of the piston, not to
chance its intensity. When spark is
retarded it comes several degrees af-
ter power stroke has begun. The his
top receives the power of the explo
sion, speeds up and runs away from
the explosion. By advancing the'
spark to dead centre the explosion‘
presses 0n the piston earlier in thel
stroke and so gives more power. By'
advancing the spark into the com-
.pression stroke the explosion pressure
is exerted on .plston just as it passes
over'dead centre and so greatest pow~
or is obtained. There are three con
ditions: Engine being cranked. ud-
vuuced spark would cause engine to
kick hack; engine idling (runningr
without load). engine speeds up; cn~
gine under load, it speeds up siigli‘tly,t
but too for advanced causes ‘ engine
to knock.

The choke valve gives you a richer

seem to be a lean mixture, probably
caused by a leak in the inlet mani-
