One of the older hands was stone deaf but he used to lick the end of his thumb, hold it over the air intake and judge the ‘coldness’ of the air passing over it. Every engine he did idled perfectly and throttle response was brilliant. The other guy in Road Test was the ‘ace’ for duff ignition systems. He was a Jamaican on the car wash and whenever a car had an ignition prob, he’d take off his rubber boots, wet the soles of his feet, spit on both hands and grab plug bodies and HT leads to verify which wasn’t working as it should. He was rarely wrong, even though he had rather too many epileptic seizures to drive a car.

I bought it after the bubble set I had got broken in a shop move. I find the dial type to be a little bit more fiddly because the gauges want to "bounce" more than the liquid sticks. The dial set came with dampers on each gauge to reduce the bounce, but you have to adjust them individually. Either type works, I feel like the durability of the gauge style will be a little bit better. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 11:58 AM, Chris Simo <<a href="mailto:ccsimonsen@gmail.com" target="_blank">ccsimonsen@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm'><div><p class=MsoNormal>I lent my old trusty bubble type carb sychronizer to another and he returned it saying it did not work -- well, he returned part of it.
