I wonder how many 'factory trained techs' would know how to do that today, without following the how to do process on their smartphone?
I would have difficulty these days as my eyes are not what they used to be, gotta blame that on lots of soldering and brazing, and working in dingy plant rooms over the years.

Oh,and age


I can do points, but I need glasses to set the gap these days...

It also has a choke knob.. They wouldn't know what that's for. Mate's mum had an HG ute, which always ran like a pig when she drove it, until we worked out that the choke knob was a convenient thing to hang a handbag on.. Dunno how she got on with the new-fangled automatic chokes later on.
