Show Keep Engine in Shape to Assure Those Winte r Morning Starts THE HERALD,Provo, Utah—Page 3A Tuesday, October 6, 1970 If you want to avoid those long waits for starting help on a cold or rainy day, Champion Spark Plug Company has some advice for you. And it’s not move to a warm, dry climate. The best way to make certain your car starts every time this winteris to put and keep your engine in shape. Champion Spark Plug Company conducted surveys of hard starting experience in the U.S. and Canada and found that engine condition, rather than weather severity, influences starting ability. _ Take the Province of Quebec andits sister Provinceof British Columbia. Quebec has severe winters. British Columbia has mild winters Yet 19.5 percent of Quebec motorists had starting trouble while 32.2 of British Columbia’s car owners experi- enced difficulty Why? Rate of tune-up purchase in Quebec was 43 percent while B.C.’s rate was only 23.4 percent A comparable picture developed in the US, Cold, blustery New Engiand states had a 223 percent rate of starting failure against a 31.9 percent rate of tune-up pur- chase. The balmy-climed Pacific Coast states suffered a 25 percent rate of starting failure and a 21.3 percentage of tune-up purchases. Like the economy, your engine is affected by the law of supply and demand. In foul weather, a sub-par engine demands morevoltageto fire and the supply is generally lower. Morespecifically, when the weather is cold or wet, the car’s electrical system loses power, Aggravating the situ- New ation, the presence ot worn ignition parts can “leak” voltage or “block” electrical flow, making greater demands on voltage available Further complicating the problem is the presence of worn spark plugs. These re- quire more voltage than new plugs to fire The critical function of spark plugs in starting is is shown in the following statistics. Engine with newly-installed spark plugs account for only 12 percent of all starting failures. Plugs with 11,500 miles or more usage have 41 percert starting trouble, more than triple the rate of new plugs So, to decrease your chances of starting trouble this winter, get a tune-up.
