Page 6, Thursday, February 24th, 1972, WHITBY FREE PRESS sportsA MOTORING with, Mike Burgess Back to fthe Studded Tire By the tîme this issue .1'hits the str- eets", the Canadi an Automotive Servi ce Show he Id aninualiy at the Automotive Buil1ding, C. N.E., Toronto wiii be haifwaythrough. But if you can make it down there before tommorrow night, you wil i find a gigantic supermarket of auto- m o tiv e parts, àccessories and equip- m e nt. M o re than 300 companies have r e s erved more than 500 booths ta dis- play their products. One display I think rather interesting on the mezzanine floor, is a simuiator equ ip p ed w 1th detaiIed pictoriai and schematic diagrams compiete with push buttons, indicators and controis ta dem- onstrate the principals of operating and trouble-shoot ing a four-stroke engine. Up ta f or ty-three maifunctions can be programmed in, so the student or mec- h a n i c o p e r ating the variaus contrai s might have ta check out the entire en- gine. Needless ta say, one doesn't us- uallyfind "that many"' things wrong with an engime at one time, so it will cert- a i ny present qui te a chal lenge ta any- one daring to tackîe it. Ontario only province outlawing studded tires 1Iha te to soundî1i ke 1lm f1ogging a deadhorse, (I think that's the right ex- pression ), but if 1 complain enough, a nd e n ough people complain with me, maybe something can sti il be done about studded tires. Anyway in a report pre- sented recently taMetroW innipeg Coun- c il, cars with studded tires were found to beinvoi ved in fewer col1iisions dur ing the '70-171 winter. 0f 2, 752 rear-end- ers, 1, 100 invol ved two vehici es wi thout studs; 1, 230 invoived one vehicie with, one wlthout and only 412 cars involved two veh ici1 es wi1th s tuds. The s tudy show- ed asphai twear was increased by 100 to 15 50 % on intersections with stop signs o r t ra ff ic 1Iights and oniy 42% around 'yieid' signs. Stoppirig distances on giare !ce were decreased by rear wheel studs, and sharpiy decreased by studs on ail four wheels (rally style). Winnipegers prefer road damage t. accidents T he Wi1n nipeggers conçiuded, and rightly so, that the safety factor in s t uds outweighed. the damage ta their roads. Ontario continues to be the oniy pro- vince that outlaws studded tires. if the oid famiiy jaiopy 'cranks over' a 1 r ight, but refuses ta start, on these colid winter mornings, you wili probabiy find the cause in the electricai system. As su ming the battery and connections a re in good wvorking order, the plugs, points and condensor might need clean- ing, gapping, or even replacing. If this i s n 1't t he cause, check and make sure t ha t t he automatic choke is operating properi y. A Short? 1 f the en9ine turns over too siowiy, the battery couid be losing it's charge because of a short in the system , or you c ou 1Id n e ed a new battery. Usi ng too heavy an oil wîll have the same effect. Another point ta, remember i s that a p a r t ial iy fuit gas tank is'more apt ta form condensation and hence cause gas 1i me freezing than one which lis usuaiily kept full. The odd can of gas-line anti- freeze when you 'fiil-it-up' won't hurt. Low cylinder compression Ha v ing done, or checked , al1 these things and "lit stili1 wii]1 not go".. you're i n to s om ething a 1litti e more serlous, poss ibI y 1ow cylinder compression, w hi ch couid indicate a need for an en- gine rebuiid. The 'Hughes' newsietter says a man r ef us ed drinks at a party because his wife might have to drive him home -l"and you know how dangerous that is.
