7:43 It is also smart to read TSB and recall notices. Sometimes there is a common problem among a certain car type, and there is a special fix. Other times there is an extended warranty to cover it. Another thing that is important is to find flowcharts for diagnosing the exact model of car you are working on. There may be some sort of special procedure just for that type of car. Many people will assume that a stiff brake pedal is always the vacuum brake booster. It isn't always the case. If a diesel engine is used, they have a vacuum pump to operate the booster, and odds are, the vacuum pump is at fault. Other diesels have a hydroboost brake system, and that has its own flowchart. 12:30 Many people have never driven a car with a carb engine and many people had one ages ago. As a result, when they drive a car with a carb engine, they don't realize that they have to do things with the accelerator pedal to start the engine. I would forget every time until I was cranking the engine longer than usual. Some cars would start, some wouldn't. EDIT: 4:18 I don't know how often an engine behaves like there is a vacuum leak because the PCV valve doesn't function correctly. I used to have a 1995 Honda Accord that ran poorly for months and I couldn't figure it out. I happened to shake the PCV valve, and it sounded like a soccer ball landing in mud. I bought a new one, swapped it out in the parking lot, and things improved almost instantly. From that day on, I made sure I gave every PCV valve a shake. Do remember that some vehicles don't have one. Some cars have a fixed orifice that needs no testing. Other cars, especially Volvos and BMWs have a system that is complex and expensive. 14:00 Some carbs from the late 70s and ealy 80s controlled idle speed mixture by reacting to an oxygen sensor, similar to an EFI engine. Other ones also had some kind of speed control, similar to the IAC found on a throttle body of an EFI engine. Keep that in mind if you are seeking advice for solving problems with a carb engine. Often the O2 sensor would foul up and make the car perform very poorly. That is why some owner's manuals would tell you to replace the sensor at certain miles, or a warning light activated by mileage would tell you. My dad had one of those stupid carbs on his 1987 Hyundai Excel and that was one reason that car was so crappy.

TSBs were more valuable than Recall Notices!! At least at Lincoln... Ford was hard pressed to admit a Recall was needed. But a recent TSB was always available. 😉 BTW, if interested, I've been currently putting ALL of these Service Videos *in chronological order* on my Channel, in its own Playlist. Painstaking!! 😖😠

Don't always blame the KAAburetor!! 😲😜
