As you have disposed of the crank

thing remaining is piston slap. It

What attention does a leather lined
clutch need? P. \i.
A leather lined cone clutch should
be kept in condition by the applica-
tion of a little neatsfoot oil to the
it other once a month. The clutch
must bedthrown out to apply this and
then it must be held out all night. so
that the oil may be absorbed by the
spring. If there is a grease cup on
the hub of the clutch see that...“ is
kept filled and turn it down one turn
(very day. {I there is no cup the.
clutch bearing is oiled from the gear-
set. so that the only care then is to
keep the oil up to the level of the
shaft. Engage the clutch gently so
as not to strip the leather or wreck
the gears, universal joints. etc. If the
denly. instead of starting smoothly it
shows that the clutch leather is dry-
ing out and needs neatsfoot oil.

touch it it makes the same noise
again as if “taking up this slack. If
I drive at about twenty-nae miles an
hour this noise will not take place if

slower it will hlways make this an-
noying clicking noise.“ Any sugges-

line on the road at various garages
this is not possible, Several times I
have been obliged to take on: the pipe

dirt. Is there any way I can over-
come this? It is a constant source
of annoyance to feel that this may
have to be done at almost any time.
would placing a loop in the pipe
line stop this nuisance? 8. T. .
It is best to install a at?” in the
gasoline pipe line in an accessible
place. This strainer or dirt trap will
prevent to a large degree various par-
lclcs from reaching the carburetor.
it' this is placed in an accessible posi-
tion it will be an easy matter to clean
it when occasion arises. A loop in
the pipe line will not prevent dirt or
other foreign matter from reaching
the carburetor;
Helpful Hints
Annoying rattles may often be
traced to side play in the spring
shackles. You may find it necessary
to install shims, but in any case be
careful not to tighten the shackle too
much. The spring must haverfree~
dam of action. otherwise the car will
aide hard and incidentally you may
cause a broken Spring.
Put a wrench on the front axle
spring clips occasionally. You may
avoid a broken spring or the axle
shifting out of line. Incidentally
greater safety will be insured togeth-
er with less tire wear.
If springs squeak badly and you
have no time to separate the leaves
and grease them properly. try the
following: Clean thoroughly then
pour enough kerosene over them so
that some of it will run in between
the leaves. Then wipe off the kero—
sene and pour oil on top, guiding“ it
down the sides of the leaves. It fol-
lows the kerosene in between the
leaves and usually stops the squeak.
.The shackles of truck'springs or
hangers as they are frequently‘called
must be kept carefully moi-looted.
Rust often clogs up the small vents
and keeps the oil from performing
its function. The use of a little ker—
osene at intervals will tend to keep
these all holes open.
