CORN team captain- With proper maintenance your power mower should last many years and provide efficient service.

And there's a better than even chance you haven't given a lick of maintenance to your If you have any home care or reaatr euestions. tend them in.

I'll answer those of eenerel interest in this soeca. I'm sorrv cant personally answer individual questions by mall. Dear Mr. Corn: My partner and I have had a disagreement over the meaning of two-no-trump rebid by opener after a single raise. 1 maintain this shows 15 points.

My partner claims it promises more. Who's right? Does it make any difference if the suit is a major versus a minor? Majors and Minors, Cleveland Answer: In the bidding sequences: IV 2V or 1 2 2 NT 2 NT The two-no-trump rebid la an invitation to game. Since re-sponder's single raise can be made with as little as six or seven points, opener should have in the neighborhood of 17 or 18 high-card points to justify his invitation. Responder should bid game with more than a minimum raise eight or more points. Dear Mr.

Corn: In a recent duplicate game I passed ray partner's takeout double' of one club for penalties with this hand: Q10 VK10 4 K953 10 5 4 2 The opponents were vulnerable and we were not. My partner claims I should have bid one diamond. Your opinion, please? Close Call, Glencoe, 111. Answer: I only half-agree with your partner. While your pass was a risky decision (your club spots were bad), it may well have turned out well, even though against the odds.

On the other hand, I would not respond one diamond. I would choose the more constructive bid of one no trump and would even rate the overbid of two no trump over the one-diamond response. Dear Mr. Corn: Who is eligible to make doubles and redoubles? We are new to the game and are having trouble resolving this question. The issue boils down to whether or not one player can double his partner's bid or redouble, bis partner's double.

Double Trouble, Georgetown, S.C Answer: The laws of contract bridge stipulate that doubles or redoubles can be made only against opponents' bids and not partner's. I can't help but wonder how much action and excitement was generated under your interpretation of the rules. Dear Mr. Corn: I am coming to you for help. I was severely criticized for my bid and I feel that I wai right.

I'm also hoping that you agree. My hand and the bidding were: LHO Ptar.

Preventive power maintenance at this time it takes only about an hour not only will get you through the rest of the grass growing season, but also wul keep your mower in tip-top condition. Let's be practical.

power mowers cost money, and when you schedule maintenance, the mower should last for many years and provide efficient service. The nemesis of any engine Is dirt, and the mower's engine is constantly exposed to dirt when it is running and when it is stored. Before you begin, disconnect the spark plug cable, and clean the cable thoroughly; particularly the plug connection. If the connection is the snap-on clamp type, make sore the clamp prongs are adequately spaced to provide a firm connection. Apply Even fressar 'Next, remove the plug.

This should be done with a tight-fitting wrench around the plug's hex-housing. Apply even wrench pressure when turning so as not to strip plug threads or crack the porcelain. When the plus: is removed, check the L-ah aped electrode which most likey is coated with deposits of carbon or sludge. Carbon (black coating) depos its indicate that the mower's fuel mixture is too rich. Sludge (thick.

oily deposits) indicates that too much oil is being burned with the gas. If you own a two-cycle engine mower, yon are mixing too much oil with gas before putting the fuel into the tank. Check your operating manual to find out the proper oil-gas ratio, which when mixed correctly will eliminate sludge buildup on the plug. A four-cycle power mower engine means oil is poured into the crank case, and gas in the tank. Sludze on a spark plug for this engine usually means a worn niston nnr and this repair re quires professional attention.

Corroded spark plugs are cleaned easily by scraping the electrode with a knife to remove the heavy deposits, followed by a good wire brushing or sanding. When the plog is clean, check the gap for the proper setting; the manual will give you gap size. Usually, plug gaps range from J2 to .04 of an inch, depending on engine capacity. Plug-gap measurement can be simplified with a tool available at auto supply stores or a well-stocked hardware store. Th air' cleaner is the wxt item to consider.

Thjr cleanerisysuallj a synthetic sponge that fits into the cleaner housing, and it is supposed to get dirty since it filters out dirt and dust when atr is being sucked into the carburetor. The filter should be cleaned after every eight hours of mower running. This is done by soaking the filter in detergent and water. While the filter is soaking, clean out the air cleaner housing with a rag, including the air vents. Re-insert the filter and replace the air cleaner top.

The most temperamental part of the mower engine is the carburetor, although manufacturers have made them more reliable. The carburetor must be kept clean, but many weeks of mower use is bound to create a buildup of dirt and grime on the carburetor. The easiest way to clean this part is with an old toothbrush. Dip the brush into a can of gasoline and gently scrub the carburetor. This should be done outdoors, and without amoking.

After all dirt removed, dry off the gas by blowing air on the part with a bicycle pump or by fanning with a stiff cardboard. Tour manual will give you the proper adjustments for gas and air mixture settings on the carburetor. But if you don't know what you are doing, leave the carburetor adjustments alone.
