o carbureter air intake. This can be done by loosening the wing nut holding the warm air elbow "F" on the stove and also loosening the set screw holding this elbow in the air intake of carbureter, after which slide elbow out of air intake and revolve it--180 degrees about an horizontal axis and re-insert in carbureter air intake and lock in place with set screw. The opening in the elbow now is turned down away from the stove and draws in only cold air. The above procedure, it must be understood, will vary somewhat due to differences in locality, altitude and fuels used, but it should be borne in mind that the best economy can be had with cold air passing to the carbureter, and the stove should not be connected until the acceleration and performance of the job requires the use of warm air for the best results. The adjustment of the carbureter should be made per the above description of the stove, as the latter is used for meeting weather conditions and should be set as described. HEAT CONTROL--CARBURETER JACKETS The carbureter and manifolds have been designed to utilize the exhaust gases of the engine to insure complete vaporization and a consequent minimum consumption of fuel. This is accomplished by surrounding the upper portion of the mixing chamber with a large heat jacket provided with an inlet and an outlet opening and connected by means of tubes to an exhaust manifold valve body in the exhaust pipe of the engine; this valve body, housing a large valve called the main-exhaust-heat-valve ("C" in cut) within the body itself, the return or outlet tube from the carbureter heat jacket entering the valve-body in the lower portion below the main-exhaust-heat-valve. The main-exhaust-heat-valve "C" is connected by means of a lever and long connecting rod to the throttle lever of the carbureter so that when the throttle valve is operated the main-exhaust-valve is operated simultaneously with it. The purpose of the carbureter heat jacket and valve in exhaust line with connections described, is to provide means for utilizing the heat of the exhaust gases of the motor for vaporization of the fuel supplied the engine by the carbureter and to do so automatically. The automatic feature of same is accomplished by setting the Main-Exhaust-Heat-Valve "C" by means of the long connecting rod, in closed position with the closed or idling position of the throttle valve, thus providing for and causing all of the exhaust gas
