4. Set ignition timing as described on page 18.
5. Turn carburetor idling screw (H), Figure 5, into its seat and back out exactly one
turn.
6. Start engine.
7. When engine has reached normal operating temperature, adjust intake valve
tappet clearance to .006" and exhaust tappet clearance to .008".
8. Set carburetor throttle stop screw (E), Figure 5, so that engine idles at a speed
equal to a car speed of 7 m. p. h. in high gear.
9. Adjust carburetor idling screw (H) for smooth engine idling. The final adjustment
should be from ½ to 1 turn of the screw from its full
in position .
10. Road test for final ignition timing, as described under Fuel Compensation (page 18).
If the above operations, properly performed, do not give normal engine performance,
the car should be taken to an Authorized Hudson and Terraplane Dealer for mechanical
inspection.
Starting Motor
The starting motor is controlled by a push button on the instrument panel through a
solenoid switch mounted on top of the starting motor.
It is necessary to disengage the clutch on Electric Hand equipped cars in addition to
turning on the ignition and pressing the starter button to engage the starter. The switch
can be operated manually by unscrewing the cap on the rear of the switch and pushing
the plunger in. The drive to the gear on the engine flywheel is through a Bendix drive
which is brought into engagement by the rotation of the starting motor.
The front and rear bearings of the starting motor should be lubricated at (B and D),
Figure 4, with a few drops of light oil every 1,000 miles.
The threads of the Bendix screw shaft (C), Figure 4, should be cleaned occasionally with
a brush and kerosene to remove gum and dirt.
Generator
The generator is of the ventilated type, allowing a greater output than is practical with
the non-ventilated type. The maximum output is controlled by a third brush and should
be set at 22 amperes. This adjustment requires the use of an accurate ammeter and
voltmeter and should be made by an Authorized Hudson and Terraplane Service Station.
A generator output regulator is mounted on the engine side of the body dash and
reduces the output from 22 to 10 amperes when the battery is fully charged, reverting to
the higher rate should the battery become partially discharged due to frequent starting or
continuous use of lights, radio, etc. This regulation is permanently built into the regula-
tor and no adjustment of this unit is necessary.
The generator field circuit fuse is contained in the knurled cup extending from the top
of the regulator. If the generator fails to charge, check for a burnt- out fuse. Replacement
should be made only with a 7½-ampere, 25-volt fuse.
