- Page 33 Many of today's modern vehicles use sophisticated computer controlled spark advance systems. Your Craftsman Analyzer, a top quality timing light such as the Sears 213400 Timing Light or 219400 Advance Timing Light, and the vehicle service manual are essentialitools for accurately checking these complex advance systems.

Slide the Range switch to the L0-1200 RPM position for idle speed tests. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS, Carburetors on late-model vehicles usually have sealing caps on idle mixture screws which prohibit or restrict carburetor adjustment.
