“lhilc I realize that a hot spark is an.
absolute necessity for the proper run-i
ning of an engine. I do not know how
to go about testing it on my car, which i
is equipped with a “’agner system. I
, O. T. E
The mothod would he the same with i
any Other distributor system. If cnv'
glue is running. remove one sparki
plus: who from its plug and hold lti
not more than one—quarter inch from:
head or" plug orsomc metallic part of;
the engine. The spark can be secn‘
jumping acrOss the gap. If engine is
not running make. the gap at the
spark plug just the same. closc'the
switch. and move the spark lever back
and forth very quickly. This should
produce the desired spark,
Motor Dcpartzncnt. The Sentinel:
I had occasion to who off Ihc distrilr
liter of my mugncto. the other day.
and noticed that one of the small can
hon brushcs was missing,
the engine runs with full power. and
the corrcsponding cylinder does not
seem to be missing cxplosions. Irf
there is no difference in the results.1
what harm will it do to have one or
more brushes missing? If it makes a
gap in the dislrihuter, will not one gap,
intensify the other? ~. NOVICE. -'
If the cylinder does not miss explo-
sions it is because the spring makes
contact with the distributor arm or
segment. This will burn away or
break and the engine will miss explo-
sions, If there is any gap in the dis-
tributer it will be too great for‘ihe
spark to jump when engine is running
slowly. as the magnetic then gener-
ates less current. 'The spark plug gap
is set small on this account, and an
additional gap in the distributor adds
too much resistance, So replace brush
as? soon as possible. ‘
Motor Department, The Sentinel:
I had my car overhauled last winter
and all the hearings were tightened
. at that time. Since then my mothr
knocks when idle, but, when running
fast. this knock-is eliminated. Please
let me—know what might cause this?
A. L.
Engine knocks may arise from many
causes. Tightening the hearings will
not eliminate all of them. Without
more definite information It. is diffi-
cult to guide you. . From what you
state it would appear that you trouble
is slight.
gears are considerably worn and the
knock. you hear is due to the back
lash. “’hen the engine is running
fast, of course, this would not be no-
ticed so, much. It may also be due to
a side: slap of one of the valve push
rods. . Such knocks as this are aggra-
vated or rather more prominent when
the motor is idling, ‘
Motor Department, The Sentinel:
I would very much appreciate if you
rwouldaanswer a question in your mo-
tor column in the next issue of your
‘paper. What is the cause or a motor
missing every time on tho same cyl~ ,
inder when there is a good spark, at
the plug? There is no pounding “or
knocking, but cylinder just fails to
fire. OWNER.
The: trouble is probably due to loss
of compression, which may be caused
by a valve not seating properly, valve
caps, piston rings, or spark. plugs

HELPFUL HINTS.
The fumes from a storage battery
on charge are inflammable and it is
by no means safe to bring a naked
liaine near a. col] that is “gassing"

churning; stations usually are careful
knowing by practical
expcricnce that the gas can be ignat—

Sumo owners. do very little tiny driv» '

night. Currant used from the storage
bath-1y must be replaced. Bear this
in mind if your batury does not come
up to standard.
A frequent trouble is concsion of
III!“ battery terminals due. to acid
climbinc up the post and attacking it.
This will soon stop the current from
{flowing so it must be cleaned off and
the terminals covered with cup
grease.
There are few courses of treatment
worse than allowing a storage battery
to stand idlc in a discharged condi-
