Now that the holiday season is over and
we have time to catch our breath we can
think about the things we’ve been wanting
to do but have put off because there wasn’t
time, Christmas baking always takes up so

Our Service Department can quickly
determine whether off-color exhaust
smoke is due to improper carburetor
adjustment, clogged air cleaner, or
other malfunction.
High oil consumption can be traced
to one of several sources worn piston
rings ... too much oil pressure . . .
worn connecting rods.
Ignition out of time, improper carbure
tor adjustment, and improper valve
clearance are a few of the reasons
for poor fuel economy.
