Yup, correct. Like my mechanic is dying breed. He already in his 60's, there are a few carb kakis still look for him. My 3rd car was with Webers mod and tuned by him....
But nowadays less repairs already. Diagnosis then change the whole part, unlike those days can be taken apart then change the faulty things only, and then fit whole thing back....
Change new part for customer first. After that, take the damaged part and repair during free time. Later sell back as halfcut part.
Sometimes really cannot help, cars are being built that way. CEL comes on, sure need diagnostic tool dy, but some skill mechanics can sometimes tell what is wrong. Diagnostic tool is to confirm but for some is required....
Exactly, like my mechanic not only repair different brand/make of cars, but he does vans and even light lorries, Carb and Fuel injection and my turbo too.....
The mechanic that I went to is a friend of my grandfather. His workplace really is what they call those bengkel bawa pokok kind of workshop. Still, he is experienced, does overhaul and he even knows how to fix light lorries. He even said that during his younger days, he fixes V8 engines from old Range Rover when he is working at some large factory.
Should be I guess but he is younger than you. My mechanic often praise about how powerful and responsive carb is compared to fuel injection.
