It is unlikely for this trouble to occur due to the spring, providing it has not been stretched or otherwise altered. We may add that the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I carburetter is very little different to the Silver Ghost in design, therefore when criticising its performance we should not expect to observe any marked difference. Again, there is no carb. made which automatically gives absolute perfection under all conditions of working, but the Phantom - like the Silver Ghost, should, if correctly adjusted, give a better all round performance than that obtained by most of our competitors. Appended is a table giving some of the possible troubles and their causes. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.{Mr Adams} C. Lovesey. [Watermark: 1804 MADE AT CROXLEY] | ||
