Sears engine analyzer model 161.216300 - need manual
Hi,
I just got a Sears Engine Analyzer model 161.216300 off Ebay and need a manual. I can get one from Sears for $13 but that is $11.75 more than I paid for it not including shipping! Does anyone have a manual they can copy and email me???????? I need to know how to use all the functions of this unit.
i did some digging in the garage. i got model # 161.21042 sears engine analyzer for 12v and 24 volt systems. i not sure what the differences are but im sure the actuall testing is done the same. ive got everything like the manual, hookups ect.... but im not comp savy and will have to get the wifey to scan this stuff and e-mail to you or i will mail a copy for a fellow c-3r if youd like
just looked at the one I have, and it's the 161.210400.
Interesting that I bought it last year at an estate auction. This was the original purchaser and it had NEVER BEEN USED. The cables were still rubberbanded together (and the bands had rotted).
I may have been the first person to ever connect it up to a car !!!
I'd check eBay. Alot of 'good junk' out there. You may find an owners manual for it (if not today, someday). I use eBay more and more in my searching for parts, books and stuff.
I can scan it, but my scanner is "low tech"... an old Umax. It will take quite a while. I have to adjust/crop each page, and then edit/convert/resize each page. Can you email me a fax number?

Does anyone know the era of these devices?
looks like the one i bought from RAC circa 1975-76

as i recall mine had a calibration screw...lets see you zeroed it out on something ....like touching the connectors together when you were in the points mode or something....it was long ago....
