important spaik plug gap ad
- pustment
Bevvaie of a plug that re
quites much bending at the
gionnd elecliode to lestoie the
piopei gap setting . . . Chances
aie, an excessively wide gap
is a good indication the plug
is due for leplacement.
If the gap is moie than .001
inch over specifications, and
has been in use for less than
100 hams, the trouble ma> he
due to excessive electrode ei
osion, a lesult of using plugs
that aie too “hot” foi the
engine, or tiom overadvanced
ignition timing.
Tins tiouble also could he
caused bv an improper gap
setting at the time the plugs
vvete ongmally installed
Too wide a gap setting at
the electrodes may cause a
miss while the engine is nu
dei load.
If the electrodes are spaced
Proper feeding of the dry cow is
the most important single factor af
fecting herd health, longevity, and a
sustained high level of milk produc-1
tion. In 60 days, while the cow is dry.
Pioneer Dry and Freshening feed
will repair the body from the previous
lactation, build a reserve of body,|
| condition for the next lactation, and
develop a stronger calf. In addition J
your cows will have less calving diffi
culties, eliminate placenta quickly,]
have less udder congestion, and most j
! importantly they will produce Up to
25%
more milk!
too closelj together, you 1113/
encounter a miss at idle, or
uneven power output at all
engine speeds Also, pou.may
have difticulty maintaining the
proper caiburetor adjustment.
A final word from the eng
ineer ... Make sine you use
a file to restoie sharp edges
to the sparking surfaces of the
electiodes Spark plugs which
have been cleaned and their
electiodes filed require con
sideiably less sparking voltage
than plugs which are simply
cleaned and reinstalled in the
engine without filing of the
electrodes.
Enforce the rule of no extra
riders on farm machinery.
Small children are often in
jured by machinery in drive
ways and work areas. Keep
them out of these areas unless
closely supervised.
