TIPS TO MOTORISTS OR THAT CAR OF YOURS
Carburetors are delicate metering devices and should not be adjusted without skill. Often the fault lies elsewhere. Front wheel spokes darken with grease indicating bearings may need lubrication. Check king pin bushings if steering wobbles. Use second gear on downgrades to improve braking and save brakes. Regular inspections. brake lining wear or grease coating may require cleaning or relining. Tire chains, wipers, brakes and lights improve safety on poor roads. Keep the engine clean with kerosene and a brief brush, then dry before starting.
