FINDING THE BAD PLUG.
A USEFUL HINT. When a six-cylinder or eightcylinder engine begins to misfire on one cylinder on the road it is not worth while making an immediate stoppage to trace the faulty sparking plug. Even with a proper testing instrument it may be quite difficult to identify the faulty plug with any rapidity. The correct procedure is to drive on for say half a mile, open the bonnet and feel all the sparking plugs. The plug which has been out of action during the last half mile will by that time be almost cold ; at all events it will be quite perceptibly cooler than those which have been firing properly all the time.
