So, I go to a job for an engine that is hunting real bad. It is a gas engine with a throttle plate direct driven by a stepper motor. I cannot see any reason for the hunting so I grab my phone and start to make a video of the throttle linkage to send for possible technical help. Well with the linkage all illuminated and blown up on the screen I immediately see the problem. A plastic drive coupling is loose on the throttle shaft making about 1/8 revolution before friction takes over and moves the shaft. A turn of the set screw and all is well.
Many times I have grabbed still photos of something and seen new things when blown up on the screen of my computer that I did not see on the site. My vision is not that bad, my distance prescription is light, I can almost get by without glasses, and I have tried reading glasses and they don't really help in close. My eyes are starting to feel a little "tired" but mostly I think cameras are so good these days they just can see better than eyes some times.
