And as is the case with a human being. the disposition or temperament and the physical condition of the motor are allied. A motor with a bad case of indigestion may appear to be on its deathbed, and yet a prescription of the proper medicine in the form of the correct carburetor ad- | justment, carbon removal or valve grind- ing will change its disposition entirely. Again, too, as in the case of the human anatomy, the principal cause for motor in- digestion lies in the nature of its food. Food not properly digested causes fever and gene the human frame, and so a heavy fuel with a thick residue which is not entirely consumed at each explosion in the motor, soon pro- duces carbon and overheating in the cylinder walls of the engine. al poisoning in The automobile engine is more suscep- tible to indigestion in the wintertime than in the summertime, for heat is necessary to aid in this process and the motor fur- nishes its own hot water bag.
