es of the engine to pass through the heat jacket of the carbureter when engine is idling and to regulate the volume of this heat as throttle is opened by automatically opening the Main-Exhaust-Heat-Valve, thus allowing the increasing volume of the exhaust gases to pass on out through the main exhaust pipe without being deflected and by-passed to the carbureter heat-jacket as the motor speed increases. [Illustration: HEAT SETTING No. 1] By referring to the cut shown (See Page 5) and noting "Heat Setting No. 1," it will be noted that valve "C" in main exhaust line is fully closed with the closed or idling position of the throttle valve. This adjustment is accomplished by having long connecting rod "R" from valve "C" Lever set in "Hole No. 1," in Throttle Lever "L," being sure that when throttle valve is standing in fully closed or idling position that valve "C" is also in closed position, proving out the latter feature by loosening connection of valve "C" lever holding long connecting rod; holding Throttle Lever "L" in closed or idling position and bringing up valve "C" lever on connecting rod "R" as far as it will go to the right toward the carbureter and tightening its connection on the connecting rod in that position. After having made the adjustment as just described, it is assured that "Heat Setting No. 1" has been properly made and that all of the heat possible from the exhaust has been secured. This "Heat Setting No. 1," provides as stated, for the most exhaust heat obtainable and should be used during the entire year, except in extremely hot seasons or hot climates or when high-test gasoline is being used in engine and even then unless engine is losing power due to excessive heat. If loss of power or mileage due to too much heat is experienced, first be sure that it is not due to driving on hot-air instead of cold-air. After making this observation, if there is still too much heat, refer to cut (See Page 7) describing "Heat Setting No. 2." It will be noted that connecting rod "R" from valve "C" is removed from "Hole No. 1," in Throttle Lever "L" and placed in "Hole No. 2," in Throttle Lever. This change is all that is necessary in order to reduce the amount of heat applied to carbureter. In "Heat Setting No. 2," when the throttle is in closed or idling position, valve "C" is quite aways off its seat. This adjustment provides for a great deal less heat than is provided by "Heat Setting No. 1" and is all th
