Even you, the women of the world, can repair your car's engine and save yourself delays and garage bills. Read on and suiprise your husband. If you're trying to start the car and the engine turns over so fast you're sure it's about to start -- but it doesn't push, the gas pedal to the floor. Hold it there. Don't pump it. Now, still pressing the pedal to the floor, try the starter again. Don't get overexcited if the engine starts, as it probably will, for you've let enough air into your carburetor to dilute the gas that was flooding it. Sometimes the starter will just grind away and the engine won't turn over faster, even though you pump the gas pedal. First, check your gas gauge. Maybe the gas tank is empty, If it's not, the carburetor isn't getting enough gas, so pump the gas pedal 10 or 15 times to squeeze gas into the carburetor, and then try to start the car again. Eureka! v What can you do if nothing happens when you turn the key? Grab the jack handle from the trunk and bang the terminals on the battery. Really. It might help, for the trouble may be a loose connection and banging the terminal will tighten it. If you don't know what the battery is or where its terminals are, well. . .Ask somebody. And bang gently. Now, if you get the engine started but it lumbers for a time as if if s sick, and then dies, tap the side of the carburetor gently -- gently, now! --with your trusty jack handle. The carburetor is the first engine part under the big, round air cleaner, which looks lite a double-size giant skillet without a handle. It's the most prominent part of a car engine, and usually stands highest on the engine. Let* s say you've gotten the car started and shortly after you move out of the driveway you splash through a puddle. Half a block later there's a sputter, a cough and - - silence. The thing to do is to wipe the water off the white ceramic part of each spark plug. This WED., AUG., 7, 1968- could very well enable you to start the car again. (We hope sincerely that you know where the spark plugs are). See how simple it is? Your husband may even be forced to admit that IK'S underestimated you. Learning seems to come easier to people with good dispositions, than to grumps, as they are more receptive, have more friends and interests, and are generally more parent.
