Snap on Counselor question, MT 3000 - 06/12/22 06:15 PM
Wasn't sure where to put this but it's more of a technical question so i chose here
Does any one have, use or familiar with a older Snap on MT3000 Counselor II diagnostic machine?
My question specifically relates to the Ignition SECONDARY Inductive Pickup clamp. Mine has a ground lead attached that knocks the measured voltage from 30kv + to 10kv or less when the ground is connected.
You will also get a reasonable "BUZZ" off the ground lead if touched while not grounded.
In looking at the clamp it appears as though someone added a decent sized ceramic disc capacitor on the inside of the handle not sure why ?
