buo pa naman ung contact point.

ung carb kasi kakalinis ko lang 2-3 months ago.

at idle, parang sinisinok ung engine; i.e. you can definitely detect "gaps" in the engine hum, parang sinisinok, although not as evident

Tuned up sir.. valve clearance.. lahat2x gawin mo na...

finally had it checked out by a kapitbahay's mekaniko. tune up lang daw ang kelangan. he made some adjustments to the distributor/ignition, cleaned the contact points/rotor, ok na -- for a time.

but after the test drive bumigay din ung contact point. luckily i still had a spare orig at home. seems to have run perfectly after it was replaced. advise din niya to replace the condenser soon.

not really sure what caused the contact point to break down though; i've driven a lot farther prior to today, hindi naman bumigay. kung sabagay, i don't really rev the engine that hard; siguro nagbreak down na siya with the higher than usual revving/current going through it

medyo kinabahan ako while he was troubleshooting and revving the engine hard; me naririning akong loud pops coming from the engine. sagot lang niya, sa timing lang daw ang problema

um, anybody wanna buy some slightly used sparkplugs? B)

hahahaha!!! lupet mo bro!! tago mo nalang yan spark plugs who know when you might need them. pero ingat mga peeps may fake na spark plug na. just buy from your suking auto supply or any reputable store para sigurado.
