After the Car Has Hibernated FEW YEARS ago the pages of the magazines were filled with diree- tions to what you should do after you have taken your car out of winter storage—for it was supposed that no one would have the temerity to operate his automobile during the cold and snow of the months from November to March. Hard surfaced roads, snow — plows, and closed cars have done wonders |toward promoting year-round operation of the automobile, but the winter just passed has been so severe in some sec- tions of the country ke a return to former conditions of winter storage almost obligatory on the part of many car owners. A long rest in a cold ga help your car as much physicall the case with the winter nap or recreation of the bear or the business man. In the case of a machine, rust too frequently pmpanies rest; and unlike human recovery from such a condition, hard work is not the best remedy. But we might liken this accumuls to a bad case of rheumatism joints must be limbered up gradually. Therefore, if your car has been resting, remember that even though the vital parts may have been well oiled or greased, this lubricant may have gummed or run off. In consequence, all parts should ain be thoroughly oiled or greased. The grease cups or grease cup connec- tions should be tightened until the |lubricant flows out between shackle bolt openings. The wheels should be re- moved and all brake rod connections \thoroughly soaked with a rust remover | ora combination of kerosene and graphite, ous to the application of oil. also be a good time to renew {the lubricant in the differential and transmission cases to prepare the car for a hard season’s work. At the same time, Motorist—Yes! I was speeding! the engine oil should be drained from + crank case and a few quarts of keros: poured in to wash down all of the car! sediment and particles of metal wl may have accumulated. The spark plugs should be remoy and med and a few teaspoonfuls kerosene poured into each eylinder 1 order to remove any rust that may ha accumulated on the piston or eylin« walls from the condensed water’ va which nearly always accumulates. The itor and entire cooling syste should be ¢ ied with a solution of f« or five pounds of washing soda in th or four gallons of boiling water. This should be poured in and the engine rin in order to circulate this cleaning solution thoroughly. The system should then be drained and replaced with clean wat: after the engine has had sufficient tin to cool down so that the addition of the cold water will not represent too great a change in temperature. ‘w THE CAR has rested for a considerabli length of time, the battery may havi become weakened, especially if it. was not fully charged when the hibernation started. The battery will lose its charge, even though the switches are all ope The hydrometer should be used to test the condition of the battery, and if indicates a charge less than the battery should be taken to the n service station in order to be brow to full strength. If the battery already indicates a half charge or better and the engine can be started without ‘difficulty, a few long runs may serve to bring the attery back to normal. Be sure to fill each cell with distilled water to the proper depth above the plates. Rust, water, and sediment may have’ collected in’ the gasoline fuel system. Your instruction book will indicate where the strainers and water traps are located and these should be removed and cleane Other portions of the — fuel system may be cleaned by loosening som of the connections, attaching a rubber hose and blowing through in the direction opposite from the flow of fuel. It is evident that the gasoline tank should be thoroughly drained before this cleaning process is undertaken. Oil, dirt and rapid changes in temper Confound it! I’ve just wasted twenty four hours in jail for speeding and I’m trying to make it up! 28 comicbooks.com -
