iana Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just working through my old tools to see what I kept and what still works. I had a Halfords multi meter which appears to have died, anyone recommend something similar? i have also found a gunson digimeter 320 which appears to work so would I be correct to assume everything I used the Halfords one for the digimeter will do the same but with a digital display? (Can’t even remember buying / using the digimeter as I preferred the Halfords one) Also my old Gunson timing lights appear to not be working so I will have a fiddle with them but I may also be in the market for a new timing light.

iana Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I’ve now found all the old stuff, it’s been packed away for best part of 10 years, there’s an old colourtune kit, a gunson lo-gauge, an ezzibleed kit which is incomplete and a carb balancer; so all in all not too bad I guess. Just need to see what actually works and if it doesn’t is it fixable. I’ve found 2 timing lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Ditch the old analog one anyway - much more delicate and slow to respond. Nice one that Gunsons, you do not need the AC Volts or capacitance scales that many multimeters have. A rev counter and dwell meter might be very useful!

68vitesse Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Always liked analogue meters a flick of the needle is more noticeable than a digital display. Most meters have at least one battery which l would check after long storage. Might also be worth checking the dead one for any internal fuses.

dave.vitesse Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Analogue meters are much better for fine tuning as they give an instant change in reading. Whereas the count rate of a digital meter is just too slow. However, the digital meters are easier to use when measuring a static voltage or current.
