seems like the mecanics dont have a xenon light gun tool to adjust the iginition on a old car

anybody can tell me where i can find that in Phuket Chalong?

Just manual adjust it youself if it is an old car near enough is OK, there's too much play all the way down the line when old.

nobody knows?

I don't live in Phuket, but i know from experience that a lot of garages in Bangkok do not have this tool. Their "guess" is good enough for them.

It wasn't good enough for me, so i went and bought myself a gun, it was around 2000baht.

Do it the old fashioned way. loosen off the securing nut slightly so it moves with a little force then slowly turn it till the motor is running like a sewing machine. It doesn't take a lot of skill to listen and a little blip of the throttle after each move will tell you whether you have it better or not.

Replacing the old point breakers with an electronic system may be a better option. It isn't that expensive or hard to do.

NEAR ENOUGH IS OK, who said that,

TUT TUT. A timing light will tell you if it's idle degree is OK and advancing properly to the right degree, and if the weight springs are over stretched in the dizzy etc.

Bet the OP is tutting too.

PS. The Thai guys do the twiddling thing and guess.

still no garage in world class destination phuket have that simple tool???

without the tool the engine will not shut off properly
