Can you tell me how to overcome a
trouble that gives me considerable an-
noyance? I have a 19” Ford car that
gets flooded easily when cranked.
Very often it floods after being prim-
ed the second time. and it cannot be
started at all without priming.
Too much priming is worse than
none at all. Just a little will suffice.

Probably the starter switch is in

that all points of contact are clean.
and that the connections are tight.

I can do to stop this trouble. Could
you put a chocker on it like one on a

done? READER.
On the dash you have a lever which
controls the mixture "rich" or “lean."
Shorten the control rod to carburetor
a little, which will enable you to ob-
tain a richer mixture for starting.
This device is installed to. raise or

Some years ago we heard a good deal
about two.cycle engines being used
on autos. “'hy have they dropped
out? They are found practicable for
marine use. and they give twice as‘
many explosions in a four-cycle en-
gine. What elements do they lack to
make them useful for auto use?
. READER.
They are successful in marine work.
where top weed is used modall the
time. but they do not ha well when
throttled down too much. nor when
speeded up too much. At these points
they begin to miss explosions and so
become troublesome. The automobile
engine must be flexible under all load
and speed conditions and the four-
cycle type proves best.
