Tech Tip

[BenzBoy]

Greetings,
Here's a tech tip I pinched from an oldtimer friend. It makes sense ...

I know this is a trick from the past but it is useful when electrical "gremlins" are about....
Find an old AM transistor radio, tune it to any part of the reception band where a station cannot be heard, turn the volume up and then bring it close to each HT lead in turn while the engine is idling/revving at a speed consistent with when the hesitation is apparent and listen for pronounced clicks - this will indicate possible insulation/conductor breakdowns in the lead(s) where the clicking is loudest.

Regards,
Brian

So very true Professor!

40 years ago you could do the same thing with Heart pacemakers but technology moved on and it hasn't worked for 30 years or so.
I guess modern cars without H-T leads would not work either.

Still here Michel and still have all my cars.
My term as the GM of the WAC has one year to run and then I might get some shed time.
Going to London next week as a guest of UGLE for their 300th Tercentenary - all 5000 seats sold out at the Royal Albert Hall.

Once that is over I might get some quality M-B time.

Regards to all,
