DUST ON PLUGS

Causes Annoyance of Bad Starting A common source of starting troubles is found m badly fouled plug bodies. UNGINES which receive, little attention sometimes get so grimed with dust and oil that the high tension cur-. ; rent escapes- from, the plug terminal through a path' of grit, to the metal body. ; With ; the starter m action, only a small amount of current is available for the coil, and the spark is so weakened with a dusty -/.plug that the engine cannot fire. • Five minutes' attention with a clean rag, will remedy matters. With engines m which the high ten-, sion leads are exposed, it is a good plan to give them a wipe over occasionally with a rag soaked m petrol to clean off the accumulated dust, especially, near the ends. , , _ ; J7EW New Zealand companies have so far achieved the magic million m; annual turnover, but this applies to the 1 Dominion Motors, Ltd., now .one of the leaders m the automobile industry in' this country. To-day this pompany, with its head office at Wellington, has t nine branches and sales and service representations at over eighty different points. ■■ It is Now Zealand -owned and New Zealand staffed, the staff numbering over 300, all either New Zealand born and bred or otherwise of British origin. .
