Re: [doc] Engine "sputter"

Martin - thanks for the tip, now:
How do one check that the vacuum advance is working?

PS! Odd Arne says "hi", (it's his car) and wonders if his headliners

PPS! I'll check the fuel line package I got from you once more to see 
if all the fuel hoses are there...I've been busy lately so no time to 
check up on that. Will do that first thing tomorrow. Take care!
