Early this morning a sparrow came into my garage entrance and had I some talk with it, this kind of interesting affair makes me relieved in natural space, though rainy condition today and tomorrow, so weather forecast tells.
We had a foreign customer, young lady from Puerto Rico and our measure was almost perfect getting her back home with good smile. She reminded me of my good day 40 years ago, I lived some nice days together with her filled with clear happiness. Because, her cheerful personality that's typical Mediterranean made us feel so happy. Actually, she resembled with mine, concerning about appearance, attitude and expression. I just remembered some proverb, " Every dog has his day."

In order to prevent loosening of rear axle trailing arm pivot bolt, thee iron nail pins were hit down on the portion on both side promptly. Checking the loosening phenomena because of added rubber sheets in addition to the original viscoelasticity of the bushes, no inconvenient loosening was observed in contrast with the check marks. Though it is said for ordinary automobiles, some dense verification and periodic inspection are required especially for an old car like my 45 years old Super Beetle. No making little of it, cutting corners nand shoddy inspection are allowed.

Changing into worse of motor combustion condition occurs gradually in some period of time, it is difficult to realize the cause of inconvenience. This is why I took time to replace the critical part, it is standardized as a periodical replacement part, an ignition contact point module. This important part does not last me so long period of time as to cover 26,000km use. However hard I might try to continue the same old part with flattening the contacting switch surfaces and make the plastic cam follower tip round, important requirement, Duel Angle could not be recovered the original physical performance as a new part.
Several checking were done before coming to the goal, mixture control in Solex 34PICT3 carburetor, ignition timing, vacuum timing advancer, semi-Transistor spark enhancer made by myself, etc. I should remember the fact before those procedures that most of the inconvenience in combustion is caused by the initial spark producer, contact point module. Though my countermeasure for the stupid affair this time took time until I realize the cause of the problem and finish the work, if compared with a professional automobile mechanic work, I might be rewarded because I could come to the final goal at last. In addition to the critical failure the other day, falling down away of right rear axle pivot bolt, as a matter of fact, some apparent difference between a professional and a layman amateur like me exists.

It took me all day long to find out the reason of after fire on my Super Beetle. AD motor 1600cc did not gain higher rotation, coughing and hesitating with drawing black smoke, mal-combustion. Flattening the contact point surfaces, point gap 0,35mm, ignition timing 5 degree BTDC under killing vacuum advancer had been done as usual. Though several time point flattening procedures had been tried to cover 26,000km, the life of this part must be ended, too much?
Bad habit tendency was expected when the motor did not start last morning observing metal melting bridge between point surfaces, dodge could not ever at all.
As the criminal of the problem must be in contact point module construction with worm-eaten state on the contacting surfaces including Duel Angle, tried I this morning to replace the part into new one. Then all the inconvenient condition has thoroughly wiped out, BINGO!

85th Regular Concert by Ashiya Symphony Orchestra was held at Nishinomiya Hyogo Performing Arts Center Grand Hall last Sunday evening, that was a very special one because it was done as the Memorial Concert for Mr. Toru Inaniwa who had gone unexpectedly at 27th April this year.
