ENGINE STARTS WELL, BUT COMES TO A STOP
If the battery is nearly exhausted, it will recuperate during a rest to such an extent that it will produce good sparks, but as its condition of strength is only temporary, the engine will slow down and come to a stop as the current fails. This action of the engine may also be due to carburetor defects by which the vibrations of running either cause the flooding of the float chamber or the clogging of the spray nozzle, the mixture in both cases becoming noninflammable; the condition will also result from an air-bound supply tank.
