T he mixture of air and gasoline determines the power in every stroke
of the piston. The richness of this mixture is determined by the Car¬
buretor, which acts as a regulator and allows the air to mix In with the
gas vapor in the proper proportion. To do this so that your motor will
develop the maximum amount of power by using the minimum amount
of gas it is necessary that an expert adjust your carburetor. Our long
