With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MA.30.5.34, we get most trouble with regard to ignition misfiring on 25 H.P. chassis, which are fitted with the radio suppressors, although actually the sparking plugs do not appear to oil up.

On Phantom II chassis we get oiled up plugs, but owing to the help of the magneto ignition, misfires are not in evidence.

This trouble is not consistent with either model, because we get some cars in with wireless sets which have no trouble of this description.
