Show retarded spark, another great item in gasoline consumption. On most up-to-date carburetors there is-always provisions made for hot water or hot air connections. A great many times these are taken off or not put on at all. They are verv essential, as mere heat introduced mto the mixing chambers of the carburetor will not only increase the mileage but1 give the motor much more power. The carburetor should be adjusted rare enough to have dash control pulled out until motor is warmed up, then pushed down to running position. This will always insure the same adjustment when motor is running under normal conditions, will always insure maximum maxi-mum mileage with minimum consumption consump-tion of gasoline. If these suggestions are followed, the car owner will be amply repaid for his efforts, ru only in increased mileage but the pleasure he will get from driving driv-ing a properly working motor. HOW TO CONSERVE GASOLINE SUPPLY Keep your motor in first-class condition. condi-tion. . You will be surprised at the increased in-creased mileage you get. Some of the most important parts to look after, are: Keep engine valves properly seated, and see that pistons and rings are properly fitted to the cylinders. cyl-inders. This will not only save gasoline, gaso-line, but will give much more power for the amount of gasoline used. Proper timing of the ignition, so as to carry the maximum spark, and haying hay-ing same in first-class condition, will also contribute Its share. Running with underinf lated tires and dragging brakes will use more than its share per mile of gas than if the car were running freely and had this drag eliminated. Allowing motor to accumulate carbon deposits forces the driver to run with a |
