Care and Repair of Gas and Oil Engines

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It may be said, in a general way, that any gas engine which has proper compression and receives the proper mixture of fuel and air from its carburetor, and, in addition, ignites this mixture at the proper time, and the moving parts of which, including the inside of the cylinder and the outside of the piston, are properly lubricated, will run and will develop the power it is intended to develop. When anything goes wrong with any of these conditions, the engine will give trouble, and it is the purpose of the following chapters to ex plain how these troubles may be avoided or remedied.
