The object of this book is to place at the disposal of every engine owner and operator reliable information concerning internal combustion engine troubles. There are many text books which treat of engine troubles and the remedies, but these, as a rule, contain so much technical information that they are not of practical value to the average engine operator. This book is so written that he who reads may understand without deep thought, or reference to a scientific dictionary. It tells of ordinary engine troubles which perplex the operator, and it gives a simple remedy. In other words, it helps an engine operator to help himself in time of trouble.
