I have a Stromberg carburetor which,
leaks at the needle valve. T’lmso ic‘d_
me how this can be remedied? How,
can unsolinn leaks be stopped at con-7
nccting places? . C, K. t
By “needle valve" you probably:
mean float valve. as the. needle valve;
adjusts the. spray nozzle and could not 1
cause a leak. The trouble may bej
heavy float. dirt in float valve. or worn ‘
valve. In rare cases the lover control- -‘
line the float valve may have become
bent. If your Ilml is heavy the gaso-
line must be removed. If it is a worn
vo'ne it‘musl be ground with range,
and oil. The dirt may be removed by
flooding unless it is too large. in
which case the. carburetor must be
taken apart, Leaks at Joints can us-
ually be stopped by filling the threads
with soap before the parts are put to«
geiher.
Motor Department. The Sentinel:
‘V’ill you please tell me under what
conditions poppet valves should be
replaced. and also of what dimensions
should new ones be ordered? D. P.
‘When the valve seat becomes worn
so that ridges form, then it is advisa-
ble to install a new valve. Likewise.
if the valve stem has ridges a new
valve should be installed. - When the
seat of the valve becomes very much
pitted. ahd'these cannot easily be re-
moved by grinding. it is best to re-
place the old valve with :8. new one.
Valves are not expensive and better
results will be obtained by so doing.
It is not necessary to obtain over-size
valves when replacing. However. the
new valve should be carefully ground
into the cylinder seat.
