SO IN OTHER WORDS YOUR WIFE IS SITTING NEXT TO YOU LOL watching/reading some higher end new car ads that's already in place with lane changing sensors and active brake control. The future is here.

Lawyers will have a field day when the active brake control slams on the brakes for no reason other than failed sensors or "software glitch" and an 18-wheeler runs over a speed bump in front of it. LMAO

I get a John Deere MT that was in storage for few years running today. Clean out the carb and clean up the points and it fired up. The points gap spec is
.022, but then I got this idea to see if I could check dwell with my Vantage Ultra. Well there is reason we called them putt putts as kids, or Johnny Poppers. It's a 2 cylinder 4 cycle, but the firings are 180 degrees apart with 540 degrees of coast in between . I think this was messing up my attempts to measure dwell as seen in the screens below. I tried measuring coil on time in duty cycle too. You can still figure it out from the current ramps and primary ignition screens I think its about 35 to 40 degrees. This tractor uses a 6 volt positive ground electrical system. So I took that into consideration when hooking up the scope leads.

G Bob, I have seen these engines running and figured they were just hitting about every other time around, this makes it make sense how they sound they way they do. BTW, around here in Bama, they are often referred to as hit and miss engines, thus the reason I figured that is what they were doing. But turns out they sound that way due to firing spacing. Neat info....

[greasybob]

A "Hit and Miss" is a little different. Usually a single cylinder 4 stroke that uses a governor to hold the exhaust valve open to cut he cylinder out to maintain operating RPM. Thus the HIT and MISS.

There is no such thing as going into the future Blind for the True users of Scopes and Scanners. The tools we use today were already on the drawing board and being Beta tested 60 years ago.

What did they call it when the female tech backed into the spinning radiator fan blade? ...Dissassther

[liljoe]

Doc, you aint right, funny, but not right.....

[Witsend]

Lol, what do you call that same tech that you think is a female mechanic but really isn't and who's the VAG transmission specialist?


... The Politically Correct answer would be ," A Valuable Addition to any repair shop seeking a Trans Man"

Nick...Sorry. I didn't want you to forget how to use your eraser.

I think it rolled under my desk. Looking for it now...

[Witsend]

Good reason to check under the desk to play it safe before you ask the female trans mechanic out on a date.

This is all too funny right now, we just hired a transmission man last week. He didn't think he resembled the pic.....
