quality allows it to congeal at the prevailing temperature. This condition will also probably apply to the transfer

1.No fuel.
2.No ignition current (See Page 22).
May be due to failure to turn on the switch or to a broken or disconnected wire.
3.Spark plug points improperly set. Set to .030 inch (0.76 mm.).
4.Distributor points improperly set. Set to .020 inch (0.51 mm.).
5.Cylinders or manifold flooded with fuel.
With ignition switch turned on, choke open (control pushed all the way in), hold accelerator all the
way down and rotate engine Which will reduce the fuel supply in the cylinders.
6.Moisture on high tension terminals of the spark plugs or distributor cap. Wipe terminals dry with a
rag.
7.Gas mixture too lean.
Choking is necessary to start cold engine.

5.Engine overheated.
6.Distributor breaker points dirty or pitted.
ENGINE MISSES AT ALL SPEEDS.
1.Faulty wiring.
2.Fouled spark plugs.
The spark plugs should be short circuited one after another by touching a hammer or wood handle screw
driver from the cylinder to the terminal of each spark plug. When one is reached which makes no difference in
the running of the engine, it is an indication that the plug is at fault. Remove and clean. If porcelain insulator
is cracked, install new plug.
