Possibly (another) stupid question
Discussion
While looking at the ignition I wondered. The vacume advance tube is connected to a small membrane (?) wich in turn moves something inside the ignition. (eeerrr so i think). How can you test this if it works. I tried sucking the little tube and looking at the ignition but i can't see anything move. Should there be anything moving ??? According to the bible many people do away with the vacume advance, what are the (dis)advantages.

Oddly enough I was doing this with my vacuum advance tube only yesterday, while we were rooting out the cause of a bit of rough running. No matter how hard I tired, I couldnt see anything move, but I think that the black cap that is visible when the dizzy cap is removed might be static and the moving part is under that. That or I don't have enough lung power to make it move in the first place!
I would have thought that the vacuum advance is a necessary piece of kit or it wouldn't be fitted.
