Kwasaki Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murf Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) 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.

transam Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited January 16, 2011 by transam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
