by the carbureter throttle. This valve provides the maximum fuel feed to the "high speed" nozzle when the throttle is fully opened for high speeds and for quick "pick up." During the ordinary driving ranges this valve controls the amount of fuel being used, thus providing all the economy possible. This valve is entirely automatic and requires no adjustment. The passage-way from the mixing chamber to the intake manifold is controlled by a butterfly valve which is called the throttle-valve and is connected to the throttle-lever on the steering wheel as well as to the foot accelerator, its position determining the amount of gas and air or mixture being fed the engine. STARTING A choke button is provided on the instrument board to assist in starting. Pulling out this button closes a butterfly choker valve (see cut) in the air intake passage of carbureter which restricts the air opening of the carbureter, and consequently produces a richer mixture. To start engine, pull out choke button all the way. Advance spark lever about half way and throttle lever about one-quarter way and depress starter pedal. As soon as motor fires when starting, this control should be released part way, otherwise too much fuel will be drawn from carbureter, causing flooding of the motor and failure of the latter to continue to promptly fire. After starting, motor should be allowed to run "part choke" as stated for a few minutes while warming up, then the choker control should be fully released, or pushed in completely on the instrument board, and engine allowed to run normally for sometime until water in cylinder jackets is thoroughly warmed up before starting to make final carbureter adjustments. HEAT CONTROL--STOVE In the colder seasons warm air is fed to air intake of carbureter through the warm air elbow "F" (see cut). This elbow connects the carbureter with the warm air stove, which is a casting surrounding the two exhaust heat tubes which supply exhaust heat to the carbureter jackets as described below. The amount of heat required for proper carburation depends on the temperature of the outside air. The first means of control is in the warm air stove just described, which should be connected to the carbureter furnishing warm air to carbureter air intake in all seasons of the year when the outside air temperature is below 50 deg. F., whenever the outside air temperature runs above this point cold air should be furnished t
