I know it probably gives you the willies, but face it - your vehicle can't get along without good electrics. For a surprisingly small investment, you'll be amazed at how much these little meters can do, as well as how much time (and $$) they can save, when you know what to do with them. These testers are called multimeters because they measure a number of things. The most common measurements are voltage, current and resistance. More advanced meters may measure temperature and frequency, while multimeters intended for automotive use will also measure rpm and dwell angle. Most multimeters today are digital meters that provide a numeric display of measured values. 1: Your First Test - Measure Battery volts Many meters are inexpensive because they require you to manually select the correct measurement and range for the test you want to do.

Now...the carbs are connected to the reed blocks in the same fasion as the airbox. Time to take it all apart. How to chop wood without messing around. Backyard_farm.jpg (900×2793) Practical self sufficiency through food skills.
