To every motorist sooner or latu ,
there comes the unpleasant experi
ence of stepping on the starter button
and instead of the merry whirr ot
turning gears, being greeted by stony
silence. It is scarcely remarkable that
this occurs, indeed the wonder is that
the starter holds up as well as it does
under the abuse that it receives at
the hands of the average car owner.
The starter system embodies the
following units: A storage battery, .
the cables that connect the battery '
with the rest of the system, a switch ;
for bringing the starter" into action
and, as a general thing, the frame ot
the car, which is used to return the
current to the battery after n nas
turned over the engine.
thing tTsu)pect is the battery, which
In cases of starter failure the first
supplies the'eurrent that operates the
starter. Once a week during the ac
tive running season the battery must
be filled to level with distilled water.
The acid solution'' should be tested at
these times with a hydrometer, show-.
ing the 'specific gravity of the solu-
tion. If this has fallen below ifiM
the battery is away below charge and
must be recharged without delay. If
the battery is pe rmited t,o become ory-,,'
or to fall so low in charge that it can-
not turn over the stafjjtr the cause oi
the failure is at once revealed.
The next things to suspect are tne
cable's that connect the battery with
the starter by way of the switch.
While the trouble here isjiot so fre
quent nevertheless msulation may
wear through, setting up shorts that
drain the battery and prevent the-
starter from doing its work. '-Occasionally,
also, the switch go'ei out of
business, but if the batttery j proved
