clutch slips whenever there is any
pulling. Have put as much as a pint
of kerosene in the clutch case along
with the oil. Is that enough? What
should I do to tighten the clutch to
present slipping? Cor has been run
about fifty thousand miles and clutch
is probably worn a little. L. K.
Use a. lighter oil or add some more
kerosene. If it still slips. tighten up
on the springs. Sometimes new
plates must' be installed. This can
only be. determined by- experiment.
Judging from the service obtained. it
may-be more advisable to install new
clutch plates.
HEIBFIIL HINTS.
The best method to test ignition on
a Ford car is to speed up the engine
slightly and to hold. down three vi-
brators at a time. Thls‘leaves one
working and the corresponding cyl-
duder firing. If the engine stops. that
cylinder is not firing.
The connections on dry cells should
always be kept tight. Any one con-
liecllou
be loose will éause dilllcnlt starting.
The notation of the car is very apt
.10 loosen these. and a frequent in-
spection will oftentimes save a. lot of
delay in starting the engine.
A way of reducing the wear on the
coil vibrator“ points with battery igni~
tion is to reveme the direction at the
current flow through the system.
Don't forget that the bearings d
the electric. generator and starter need
oiling from time to time. A few
