Somo carbureters have an attachment by which tho open- ing of the nozzles can be increased from the dash; while all either have a device J for choking off the air (wlmt is kuown i as a eroke valvel or for flooding the 1 carbureter by hoidinir down the float, i (leuerally, using thee priming de-I de-I ices will be all that is necessary to start the engine; but in extremely cold j weather it will often be necessary to prime tiie engine by pouring a little raw asoiino into the cylinders through the 'empression cocks or spark-plug holes. Warming the gasoline used for this pur-puse pur-puse bv placing the can in which it is in in boiiing water for a while wdll help when it is found that even by priming in this way the engine does not start. Stunning the crank handle vigorously will also help. Unfortunately, there is' at present no satisfactory way to supply heat when starting the eugine; but, once the engine en-gine has started, the air which passes through tiio carburetor can be .heated bv placing a device called a stove over the exhaust pipe, so as to make tho air first pass over this hot pipe. From the tovo a flexible hose is run to the air intake of the carbureter. At the end of this hose a shutter, as shown at A, Fig. i 1, is generally placed. In cold weather this shutter should bo closed, while it should be open in hot weather. Most people do not know the purpose of this shutter, and run their car with it open in winter. Tho engine will run better and start easier if it bo kept closed. The manifold and carbureter are of'.eu heated by hot-water jacketing them, using the hot water from the top of the engine water jackets for this purpose. Many cars have a valvo placed in the piping of this water, so as to be aide io prevent the circulation of the water through the jacket in summer. This valve is generally found near the water pump. It would" be well for owners own-ers to be sure that this valve is open in winter. Usually it is open when the handle is parallel to tho body of tho valve. As soon n there is danger of frost, a non-freezing liquid should be put into the water in tho radiator. The writer likes denatured alcohol for this purpose. pur-pose. Vou can judge tho amount of' alcohol to uso from' the following table: Twenty-five per cent alcohol, 73 wa-ler. wa-ler. fr.-ezes at zero. Thirtv per cent alcohol, 70 water, freezes at 5 degrees below zero. Forty per cent alcohol, 00 water, freezes at fO degrees below zero. In time the alcohol will evaporate, and so somo additional liquid must be added from time to time. No rule can be given for this, as in a car the water of" w hich has a tendency to boil, the alcohol will evaporate quicker than one in which the water is comparatively cool. It will also evaporate quicker in a car which is driven much than in one little driven. It is often a good practice to cover the lower portion of the radiator, so as I to prevent the passage of tho air tl roin-h it. If the water in the radiator ; teuds'to boil, this covering should be j I removed. . . . I'liUaj who. ore using a heavy oil in I |
