Motor Department. The Senfinel:
Can you give me some information on
the‘ following trouble: I have,a.Ford
roadster that. after it runs 2 or 8
miles. develops a very decided jerk-
ing and Jumping in its running. and
more noticeable when going up hill or
pulling. I thought perhaps it .was
caused by leaky valves. so I ground.
the valves. but had no effect on the
jerk. Just had the coils tested and
adjusted. Spark plugs are all 0. _K.
Commutator is in good shape. The
engine runs fine and smooth when
running free. but it has always been
very- hard to get it started. I‘have
asked several mechanics about it. but
they don't seem to know. anyway they
all seem to lay it on the ignition
somewhere. but the engine runs
free. there is no h h in the ignition.
I have an idea that it's the high speed
disc clutch that is slipping. as it
seems to develop aRer the car gets
warmed up. Is it possible to be there?
In don’t think the clutch discs have
ever been renewed since the ca: was
bought. It is a 1918 model. Hoping
you can give me the desired informa-
tion. and thanking you for the favor,
I am. 8. B.
Probably weak ignition is your trou-
ble. Try a good storage battery and
note the change. Also try a new set
of plugs. Weak magnets would cause
poor ignition at slow engine speed.
The ehgine may idle nicely but not
ipull any load. The lost with the stor-
age battery ,will check up the trou-
ble if in the generator.

“I wouldn't do that for anything."

“Do tell me." said Peter Gnome.
“Shall I tell him?" asked the first

"You tell him," said the second Bed

“Yes, you tell him," said the third
Red Berry.
"I‘m ready to hear,” said Peter
Gnome.
“Well," said the first Red Berry,
"again and again we've heard this
same speech or saying. Only today
we heard it."
"Only today," agreed the second Red
Berry.
“Only today." said the third Red

“Some one was passing." continued
the first Red Berry, “and this person
was speaking to another person. I

“Well, the person who was talking

is due to the fsct'that a w‘orn guide
allowsfhe valve to rock translate to

is when the can reaches the push
rod. This delay in opening makes a
serious loss of power in present high
speed engines.
It you open the relief valves to look
for a cylinder missing explosions and
fail to see a flame. do not condemn
that cylinder. Open the throttle and
live it enough gas to fire. When the
throttle is closed and the relief valve
open. the engine sucks in so much
fresh air that some cylinders cannot
fire. ' . i
The efforts of a beginner to remove
a valve after it has been loo-wt! are‘
frequently amusing. If there is no'
magnet handy to lift it out, crankflthe
engine until Valve is up far enough
and then slip a loop of ordinary string
around it. ‘
Quite often one of the valve push
rods will stick in the guide and cause
the“ motor to miss fire. A slightly
warped valve stem will produce the
same result. A push rod may be freed
by rubbing down with emery, but in
most cases it is best to replace a
warped valve with a new one.
