SPARK PLUGS.
YEARLY CHANGE ADVOCATED. That the necessity for installing new spark plugs at least once a year is now being -recognised in Europie is indicated by the following statement of a Scotch automotive engineer, which recently appeared in the Glasgow "Record": — "It would often pay, too, to scrap the old sparking plugs after a reasonable period of service., boast of having used the same plugs for StyOOO miles, but it is doubtful Whether the economy is a real one. ■- , ( ''The modern'engine is more susceptible to plug conditions than is ofteu appreciated, and although the plug makers may not be entirely disinterested 1 in .their advice ■to change plugs occasionally, there is 110 doubt that the advice is sound. "The thorough cleaning of a set of . plugs'makes a distinct difference in the running of the engine, as a rule, and hence .the complete renewal of all the sparking plugs should have an even greater effect. "If a set of plugs has done 10,000 miles,' then, whether they are still apparently good or not, the wise owner will scrap;them."
